On Mosul’s eastern bank rises Tell Nabi Yunus,
a hill layered with centuries of devotion.
Pilgrims once believed it held the tomb of Prophet Jonah (Yunus)
the man who called ancient Nineveh to repentance.
In 2014, the shrine was destroyed

yet from its ruins, another world awoke.
Beneath the hill, archaeologists uncovered Assyrian chambers, cuneiform scripts, Lamassu fragments, and a vast 55-meter throne room echoes of kings buried for 2,600 years.
A shrine of prophecy revealing the bones of an empire.
Here, faith and history breathe the same air.
Save this story for your Iraq bucket list.

Why did early writers call Iraq the Land of Black?
It wasn’t the stone. It was the fields. From the desert, the horizon looked dark because the land was so intensely green it seemed black. Palm groves, wheat, barley, and vegetables covered the plains between the Tigris and Euphrates. Travelers said you could walk for days under palms without ever seeing the sun (DIVA Portal – Agricultural History of Iraq).
By the 8th–9th centuries, during the Abbasid Golden Age, this fertile land became the empire’s breadbasket. Tax records show that Iraq’s agricultural revenue was four times greater than Egypt’s — a stunning fact considering Egypt itself was famed as a grain hub since Pharaonic times (Sawad – Wikipedia).
Irrigation was the secret. Massive canals like the Nahrawan, stretching hundreds of kilometers, carried water deep into farmland. These systems sustained cities like Baghdad, Samarra, and Kufa, feeding millions. Chroniclers described it simply: Iraq was “black with cultivation” (DIVA Portal).
So when the name “Land of Black” appeared, it was not about darkness. It was about abundance so overwhelming that it redefined the horizon. A land where rivers did not just flow — they built civilizations.
📍 With Explore Iraq, you don’t just see the land. You walk across the soil that once fed the world.

More than a thousand years ago, engineers in Mesopotamia designed the Naweer (Ù†Ű§ŰčÙˆŰ±); a waterwheel that used nothing but the river’s current to lift water.The design spread across the Middle East and into Spain, where it became known as the noria.
In Hit, Al-Anbar, these wheels were perfected. Entirely built from mulberry wood, fitted with rows of clay jars, each Naweer lifted thousands of liters of water from the Euphrates every day. The water flowed into stone aqueducts, feeding palm groves and farms. For centuries, this was the backbone of agriculture in western Iraq.
In 2021, UNESCO inscribed the Traditional Craft Skills and Arts of Al-Naweer on its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
This recognition placed Hit’s Naweers alongside the world’s most valuable living traditions, a reminder that Iraq’s heritage is part of humanity’s shared story.

Today, only a few Naweers remain. They creak, they turn, they survive. Standing beside them, you are face-to-face with a technology that irrigated civilizations long before modern machines.
With Explore Iraq, you don’t just see the Naweers of Hit.
You witness history still turning with the river.

In Baghdad’s Karkh district lies a story that has outlived empires, the shrine of MaÊżruf al-Karkhi (d. 815 CE).
A student in the golden chain of knowledge, linked to Imam Abu Hanifa, MaÊżruf is remembered not for power or wealth, but for humility and wisdom. His resting place became the Sheikh MaÊżruf Mosque in the 13th century; rebuilt, renewed, and still standing through Baghdad’s centuries of change.
For generations, Baghdadis called it “al-Tiryāq al-Mujarrab” — “the proven remedy”. Not a promise of miracles, but a reflection of how people found comfort, hope, and peace here.
Step inside today, and you leave the noise of the city behind.
The air feels different; quieter, slower, timeless. It’s a reminder that Baghdad is not only history and bustle, but also refuge and reflection.

Has the shape of the mihrab ever enchanted you?
It is a fundamental architectural element in mosques, and since Iraq is a country with a deep-rooted Islamic history, it is home to a large number of mosques and shrines featuring mihrabs of great religious and artistic significance.
Most Shia shrines and Sunni mosques in Iraq include mihrabs for worship or for the imam.
You can also find mihrabs in religious schools and Sufi lodges, such as the Al-Mustansiriya School in Baghdad.
If you haven’t seen it yet, we are waiting for you in Iraq to be captivated by its beauty.

It’s Iraq, like you’ve never seen it before.
A small land, yet it holds the oldest history on Earth.
It carries images so surreal, you might think they’re only dreams
Mountains, enchanting rivers, and sands that touch your feet like silk.
You’ll see faces unlike any others in the world
Eyes that stay up with the stars, and smiles that shine with purity.
This is Iraq
 Visit it, to feel what these words have tried to capture and live it for yourself.

He was the first to draw the borders of an empire Sargon of Akkad, the child of the river and cupbearer to kings,
Who rose to become the founder of the greatest state the ancient world had known.
Born in Kish, he united Sumer under the banner of Akkad,
Extending his rule from Mesopotamia to the Mediterranean and Anatolia.
In his reign, the city of Akkad was born,
The Temple of Ishtar was built,
And his image was immortalized in statues and seals,
Witnesses to an age where history began to speak the language of kings.

Gilgamesh is not a forgotten past
 but a living part of Iraq’s spirit.
He is a deeply rooted symbol in the identity, heritage, and culture of every Iraqi.
The hero of the world’s first epic tale, and an icon of the Sumerian civilization.

And you
 what have you heard about Gilgamesh?
