What Can $10 Get in Baghdad, Iraq?

We explore Baghdad’s bustling markets, historic cafés, the Tigris River, the Jewish quarter, and the newer parts of the city while buying local food, drinks, a flag, a boat ride, and other experiences for about $10. We visit a restaurant with reptiles and enjoy a traditional Iraqi meal after discovering the city’s architecture, history, and welcoming atmosphere. We also travel to Samarra, climb its ancient spiral minaret, and share tea with a security guard while taking in the views.
