RJ Anderson

August 24, 2024, our wedding.

We’ve finally decided, the date is now set, For those who’ve been waiting, your patience we won’t forget. Thank you for sticking through our back-and-forth dance, And we’re sorry if this timing messes with your summer plans. Predictable? Us? Oh, never that, So we’re off to Coeur d’Alene, where our hearts are at. Join us by the lake for vows in the sun, Then dinner and laughter, and maybe some fun. If you can’t make it, no worries at all, We understand life’s busy, we won’t take the fall. We’ve chosen our guests with the utmost care, For love, joy, and peace, and moments to share. No gifts are needed, just your smiling face, To make our day special, to fill it with grace. After dinner, if you’re up for a spree, Let’s explore downtown, with friends and family. So save this date, it’s coming soon, And let us know if we’ll see you under the moon. Send us your address, we’ll mail a reminder, For your fridge, a keepsake, a little bit kinder. No other parties, this is the one, We hope you’ll join us in all of the fun. With love in our hearts, we look forward to, Sharing our day, our joy, with you. But wait, one more thing, a simple request, For the sake of our pictures, to capture the best. Please dress in black or white, chic but not grand, Classy and comfy, that's what we’ve planned. This isn’t a gala, no need for a tie, Just come as you are, no pressure to comply. We’re skipping tradition, just making it ours, A laid-back celebration under the stars. So mark your calendar, the date is set right, We’ll celebrate together, from day into night. In black or in white, with laughter and cheer, We can’t wait to see you, our loved ones so dear.

Travel in Iraq FAQ

Are these trips Iraqi private tours?

Yes, most Iraq tours are made so that only you, your family, and your friends will travel together. You will not be traveling to Iraq along with people you never met. But we also have Iraq group tours available if you’re interested.

At a certain point, while searching on the Internet, you might ask about the difference between private and group tours. The difference is whether you will share transportation with unknown people, family, or friends.

Imagine you buy a tour to Iraq and come with your family. This will be a regular private tour, where you will have private transportation and a guide during the whole trip. Package for Iraq tour prices changes depending on the number of days and the quality of hotels. Consequently, a 3-star or 4-star hotel tour will be cheaper than a luxury tour featuring 5-star hotels. The trip cost gets cheaper depending on the people that travel with you since the transportation price will be divided by everyone.

The second situation is if you buy one place in our guaranteed departures for Iraq group tours. In this case, you will join a group of people traveling along using the same transportation. We set up specific dates with a certain number of open seats so solo travelers can quickly and affordably join our Iraq tour agency.

As a tour agency in Iraq, we offer packages focusing on thematics such as desert, architecture, culture, photography, and nature. Our tour guides in Iraq will ensure your trip follows the plan, and you will have an unforgettable journey. Traveling in Iraq is always one of the best options for your following holidays in the Middle East.

Iraq has some exciting and critical registered monuments under the Ministry of Tourism. Our tours usually have all the entrances included in the price, so this is something you don’t have to worry about.

The prices of monuments in Iraq differ between destinations. The very high price difference seems unusual, but it is how the government and local authorities compensate for the option of receiving visitors.

Most tourist attractions in Iraq are very well maintained, so expect major tourist sites to be clean and well organized, with proper facilities, available tourist guides, opening times, decent opening hours, etc.

Is it safe to travel to Iraq?

Yes, Iraq is safe to travel to.

Most people have the wrong idea regarding whether Iraq is safe to travel to. Still, the reality doesn’t match the misleading news we often see on television, picturing Iraq as a dangerous country.

People are extremely friendly and welcome tourists with open arms. Before traveling to Iraq, you must open your mind, go out of your comfort zone, and embrace this fantastic destination. You will realize the country is “normal” just a few minutes after arrival.

The crime rate toward tourists is relatively low. Iraq is one of the safest countries in the region. This Baghdad vacation package for Iraq options is extensive since the country is big and full of monuments and things to do.

Is Iraq safe for tourists? Definitely yes.

Also, if you’re wondering if Iraq tours for US citizens are safe, local people are very welcoming and love tourists from all over the world. People from Iraq learned not to mix politics with personal relations and human interaction throughout history.

Are you asking either if Iraq is safe for Indian tourists? YES, it is.

How can tourists communicate with people in Iraq?

The official language of Iraq is Arabic.

It is highly recommended to have specific knowledge of English. In large cities, the middle and upper class know English as it allows them to have more accessible contact with the rest of the world, making the trip much more accessible. Either way, all our trips optionally include a full-time guide who speaks the local language so that you feel comfortable learning about the culture of Iraq, its history, and traditions.
