24 Hours as a Tourist in Baghdad, Iraq

We explore Baghdad through its local food, visiting a small restaurant for a samoon sandwich before walking through the historic copper market and meeting one of its last remaining artisans. We browse the Al-Mutanabi book market, visit a traditional café and local artists, and learn about Iraq’s emerging tourism industry. We take a boat on the Tigris River and meet Noor, a pioneering female carpenter and content creator who dreams of opening a factory and training school for women.
