The Original Tour (November 24-30)
Join us this March for a journey like no other "The Original Tour" in Iraq. This unique expedition promises an immersive exploration into the rich history, vibrant culture, and breathtaking landscapes of one of the world's oldest civilizations. From the ancient city of Babylon to the charming streets of Baghdad, our tour offers a blend of historical wonders and modern landmarks.
Why Iraq?
Iraq, the cradle of civilization, is home to some of the earliest cities in human history. This tour isn't just a trip, it's a walk through the pages of history. Witness the majesty of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, marvel at the remnants of the Mesopotamian era, and experience the warmth and hospitality of the Iraqi people.
Through the past few decades Iraq has been known to be not the most stable. However, the situation is different now yet the media still portrays Iraq as a war torn country and Bil Weekend is here to change that.
Through “The Original Tour” Bil Weekend created the perfect mix of ancient history incorporated into modern Iraq that will present the true authentic experience of Iraq.
