What's it all about?
It’s our signature Iraq tour which starts in Baghdad and ends up in the Kurdish capital of Erbil – just in time for New Year’s celebrations!
This Baghdad to Erbil tour will take in all of the major highlights of federal Iraq between the two cities. The area is spoiled with world-class heritage and is completely unspoiled by tourism meaning we will feel like the only foreign travellers in town.
There is a huge amount of ancient and modern history waiting to be explored. We’ll travel from Baghdad heading south to Babylon & the holy cities of Najaf & Karbala. We will also head all the way to the Iraqi Marshlands before driving north to Samarra, Mosul and finally Erbil. We cover a huge amount of ground with our expert local guide keeping us informed and your Rocky Road Travel tour leader keeping you entertained all the way.
Join us this December for a one-of-a-kind Iraq New Year’s tour!
