Asfar Iraq

Day 7 of our journey with the Thai group

Today, we travelled approximately 500 km, visiting the Malwiya Minaret and the Great Mosque of Abu Dulaf in Samarra, the ancient city of Ashur, the archaeological city of Hatra, and Al-Nuri Mosque with its famous Al-Hadba Minaret in Mosul.

From the Abbasid landmarks of Samarra to the ancient Assyrian and Parthian cities, and finally to Mosul’s Islamic heritage, each stop revealed another chapter of Iraq’s story. This journey showed how Iraq’s heritage brings together civilizations across the centuries, keeping their history alive for future generations.

A wonderful final look at Baghdad’s history, culture, and vibrant spirit before continuing our journey north.

Khan Al-Nas on the Karbala road is one of the historic caravanserais built during the Ottoman era, serving as a rest stop for travelers and caravans between Karbala and Najaf. It is one of three notable khans on this route, alongside Khan Al-Rubu’ (Khan Al-Nakhila) and Khan Al-Musalla. These khans were strategically placed to provide shelter, food, and safety for pilgrims and merchants traveling this important religious and trade route. Khan Al-Nas played a key role in facilitating commerce and pilgrimage in the region
