Basra, Iraq ➖ For the next few days I will be making my way North, back to Baghdad solo. During this time I'll be stopping off at some of the holiest cities in Iraq and seeing the amazing architecture first hand. The first stop is Najaf, and I decided to catch a local bus from Basra to get there for just $6.
It was definitely daunting being on my own for this journey, but I know from experience that the Iraqi people are some of the kindest in the world and will always help me out. Again, this is proved by the kind people I met on this 8-hour bus journey to Najaf.

Hey Luke, thank you for sharing your experience to Iraq . I was born and raised in Iraq, in a town called Bakhdida which is in the southeast of the city of Mosul. I highly recommend you to visit and checkout the Assyrian culture and language spoken by many Christian Iraqis, it’s Jesus language , it’s my dream to go back for a visit as I left the country 10 years ago.Currently living in Melbourne and hopefully will have a trip planned for my next holiday.I wish I could share this experience with you and help out with the translation😅Best of luck mate🥰🇮🇶🇦🇺

This is very tiring. You should go up in the taxi because the taxi is connected. In Iraq, like a bus, you get one seat and pay an amount for one seat at the same price you paid on the bus, although the taxi is faster on the way if you are sitting in the front seat. Greetings to you from the State of Norway and the people of Iraq are very generous and kind🇮🇶🇳🇴🇦🇺
