Bradt Travel Guides bestaat sinds 1974 en is de uitgever van reisgidsen van bestemmingen die andere uitgevers van reisgidsen veelal niet beschrijven. Bradt heeft voor veel bestemmingen geen directe concurrent in de Engelse taal. Als je droomt van je volgende reis en je afvraagt waar je heen moet, kijk dan eens naar Bradt Travel Guides, de beste en meest informatieve gidsen op de markt.
This thoroughly updated third edition of Bradt's Iraq remains the only dedicated guide to this ancient land. Up-to-date travel information is included, plus all the necessary safety details. Ideal for both armchair and in-destination travel, it covers history, archaeology and culture, including iconic sites such as Babylon and Ur, the stunning architecture of the country's mosques, the natural beauty and wildlife of the Marshes and beautiful Iraqi handicrafts. New for this edition are more archaeological sites in the south, including Telloh and Charax Sparinou, Alexander the Great's port city. Muslim sites and festivals are covered, as is the influence of Shia Islam and the geo-politics of the region.
The authors bring their considerable knowledge and understanding of Iraq to provide all the practical and background information needed for a successful trip. Advice on cultural awareness and religious sensitivity in the context of Iraqi history, along with where to get the latest information on which parts of the country you can still visit, make this an invaluable guide.
