Finally we arrive at <strong>Mosul<\/strong>We enjoyed a traditional dinner in a city with more than 2,500 years of history and stayed there to rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-79fa5525 alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\">\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-500eb4f8\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns has-2-columns has-desktop-equal-layout has-tablet-equal-layout has-mobile-collapsedRows-layout has-reverse-columns-mobile has-vertical-unset\"><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"innerblocks-wrap\">\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column-0370f65b\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 7: MOSUL - PAST AND PRESENT<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After breakfast, we spent the day exploring <strong>Mosul<\/strong>Mosul, a city that, despite years of harsh recent conflict, retains a deep historical and cultural richness. Situated on the banks of the Tigris, Mosul has been an important commercial and religious centre since ancient times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We start by visiting the <strong>Mar Mattai Monastery<\/strong>founded in 363 AD, one of the oldest Christian monasteries in the world still in operation. Located atop a mountain, it offers a privileged view of the Nineveh Valley and connects us to the legacy of Syriac Christianity in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We continue towards the heart of the city to see the <strong>Al-Nuri Grand Mosque<\/strong>Famous for its 12th century leaning minaret - the \"Al-Hadba\" - which was destroyed during the ISIS occupation and is currently being rebuilt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We visit the old area, partially devastated between 2014 and 2017, where recovery efforts show us the resilience of the people of Mosul. We also tour the historic <strong>FISH MARKET<\/strong> and the <strong>Al-Tahera church<\/strong>built at the end of the 19th century, a symbol of the inter-religious coexistence that characterised the city for centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We then headed to the outskirts to visit the remains of the ancient <strong>city of Nineveh<\/strong>It was the capital of the Assyrian Empire in the 7th century BC. Stretches of the city wall and the monumental <strong>Nergal Gate<\/strong>The remains of one of the most powerful urban centres of the ancient world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accommodation in the city.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column-da370ab5\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-7a404e54 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/viajesairak.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image10-rotated.jpeg ,https:\/\/viajesairak.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image10-rotated.jpeg 780w, https:\/\/viajesairak.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image10-rotated.jpeg 360w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 150px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/viajesairak.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image10-rotated.jpeg\" alt=\"Mosul, Irak.

Our first stop is on the outskirts of <strong>Duhok<\/strong>where we visited the <strong>reliefs of Khenis<\/strong>also known as the Maltai sculptures. Carved into the rock during the reign of the Assyrian king Sargon II (8th century BC), these reliefs depict scenes of royal processions and ancient hydraulic systems. They are an exceptional testimony to the level of engineering and political symbolism of the Assyrian Empire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We continue to <strong>Lalish<\/strong>The Yazidis are considered to be the holiest place in the Yazidi religion. It is the site of the <strong>Sheikh Adi Temple<\/strong>Lalish, the central figure of Yazidism, whose origins go back to pre-Islamic traditions with Mesopotamian, Zoroastrian and Sufi influences. Lalish has been a centre of pilgrimage for the Yazidi community for centuries, and its stone temples with conical domes are unique in their architecture and spirituality. After this spiritual and cultural tour, we return to <strong>Duhok<\/strong>a modern city with ancient roots. We cross the <strong>Abbasid bridge<\/strong>We will visit the medieval town, built on the river that crosses the city, and enjoy some free time in its traditional markets, where Kurdish, Arab and Armenian influences mingle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dinner and overnight in Duhok.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-e78aa5e4 alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\">\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-6766a093\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns has-0-columns has-desktop-equal-layout has-tablet-equal-layout has-mobile-collapsedRows-layout has-reverse-columns-mobile has-vertical-unset\"><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"innerblocks-wrap\"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-e9966ea9 alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-5e77b627 alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\">\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-7e4c3347\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns has-2-columns has-desktop-equal-layout has-tablet-equal-layout has-mobile-collapsedRows-layout has-reverse-columns-mobile has-vertical-unset\"><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"innerblocks-wrap\">\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column-bc56788e\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column\">\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 9: AMADIYA - ERBIL - LIVING CITY OF THE EAST<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After breakfast, we leave for <strong>Amadiya<\/strong>Amadiya, a small ancient city perched atop a rocky plateau at an altitude of more than 1,200 metres.

trip, we started in Basra and ended in Ebril, capital of Kurdistan.<br \/>\nIraq has a history of 5000 to 3000 BC, we visited Uruk, where writing was born and the invention of the wheel.<br \/>\nIt is a safe country, we had no fear at all during the whole trip, the proof is the foreign investments that are being made.<br \/>\nAccommodation, which was excellent, is beginning to have a network of hotels and restaurants of a very high standard.<br \/>\nIn addition to Mrs. Mariam, we were accompanied by a local guide Mr. Sagad with a lot of knowledge about the history of the country and a driver Mr. Mohamad with a lot of driving skills.<br \/>\nIraq is a country to visit, and if you can do it with viajesairak.es, success is assured.<br \/>\nJoan<br \/>\nVic (Barcelona)\n<\/div><p><a

From day one we felt that this was not just another trip, but a deep immersion into a land that has seen the birth of humanity as we know it.<br \/>\nTouring Babylon, Ur, Najaf or Kerbala is not just a succession of historical sites. It is to walk through places you have seen all your life in books, documentaries and stories, and discover that they are still alive, vibrant and full of humanity. Each city has its own rhythm, its own character and its own way of welcoming you.<br \/>\nWe were particularly impressed by the hospitality. People who don't know you at all stop you in the street to welcome you, to invite you to tea, to ask you where you come from and thank you for choosing their country. This closeness, so natural and sincere, dismantles any previous prejudices.<br \/>\nThe organisation of the trip was impeccable. We felt accompanied, safe and cared for at all times. The guides not only explain facts, they tell you stories, anecdotes and details that make each place come alive.<br \/>\nWe came back with the feeling of having experienced something great, one of those trips that you never forget and that change the way you look at the world. Iraq is not just a destination, it is an experience that stays with you long after you have returned home.\n<\/div><p><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"more-4034\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" class=\"readmore readmore-toggle\"><span class=\"readmore-text\" data-more-text=\"Leer experiencia\" data-less-text=\"Mostrar menos\">Read experience<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> \u00abViajar al origen de la historia\u00bb<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p><\/div><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-field testimonial-field testimonial-name\">Veronica<\/div><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-field testimonial-field\"><span class=\"strong-rating-wrapper in-view\"><span class=\"strong-rating\"><span class=\"star\" style=\"display: none;\"><\/span><span class=\"star\" style=\"display: inline-block;\"><svg class=\"star_solid\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"-8 -8 584 520\"><path d=\"M259.3 17.8L194 150.2 47.9 171.5c-26.2 3.8-36.7 36.1-17.7 54.6l105.7 103-25 145.5c-4.5 26.3 23.2 46 46.4 33.7L288 439.6l130.7 68.7c23.2 12.2 50.9-7.4 46.4-33.7l-25-145.5 105.7-103c19-18.5 8.5-50.8-17.7-54.6L382 150.2 316.7 17.8c-11.7-23.6-45.6-23.9-57.4 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"star\" style=\"display: inline-block;\"><svg class=\"star_solid\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"-8 -8 584 520\"><path d=\"M259.3 17.8L194 150.2 47.9 171.5c-26.2 3.8-36.7 36.1-17.7 54.6l105.7 103-25 145.5c-4.5 26.3 23.2 46 46.4 33.7L288 439.6l130.7 68.7c23.2 12.2 50.9-7.4 46.4-33.7l-25-145.5 105.7-103c19-18.5 8.5-50.8-17.7-54.6L382 150.2 316.7 17.8c-11.7-23.6-45.6-23.9-57.4 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"star\" style=\"display: inline-block;\"><svg class=\"star_solid\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"-8 -8 584 520\"><path d=\"M259.3 17.8L194 150.2 47.9 171.5c-26.2 3.8-36.7 36.1-17.7 54.6l105.7 103-25 145.5c-4.5 26.3 23.2 46 46.4 33.7L288 439.6l130.7 68.7c23.2 12.2 50.9-7.4 46.4-33.7l-25-145.5 105.7-103c19-18.5 8.5-50.8-17.7-54.6L382 150.2 316.7 17.8c-11.7-23.6-45.6-23.9-57.4 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"star\" style=\"display: inline-block;\"><svg class=\"star_solid\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"-8 -8 584 520\"><path d=\"M259.3 17.8L194 150.2 47.9 171.5c-26.2 3.8-36.7 36.1-17.7 54.6l105.7 103-25 145.5c-4.5 26.3 23.2 46 46.4 33.7L288 439.6l130.7 68.7c23.2 12.2 50.9-7.4 46.4-33.7l-25-145.5 105.7-103c19-18.5 8.5-50.8-17.7-54.6L382 150.2 316.7 17.8c-11.7-23.6-45.6-23.9-57.4 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"star\" style=\"display: inline-block;\"><svg class=\"star_solid\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"-8 -8 584 520\"><path d=\"M259.3 17.8L194 150.2 47.9 171.5c-26.2 3.8-36.7 36.1-17.7 54.6l105.7 103-25 145.5c-4.5 26.3 23.2 46 46.4 33.7L288 439.6l130.7 68.7c23.2 12.2 50.9-7.4 46.4-33.7l-25-145.5 105.7-103c19-18.5 8.5-50.8-17.7-54.6L382 150.2 316.7 17.8c-11.7-23.6-45.6-23.9-57.4 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Irak: Aventura de Norte a Sur D\u00eda 2: ZIGURAT DE UR Y URUK- NAJAF Comenzamos el d\u00eda visitando el imponente Zigurat de Ur, construido alrededor del 2100 a.C. y declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO en 2016.
