Iraq is one of those countries that should be on everyone’s bucket list to visit at least once. It has had an extremely unpleasant modern history, from which it is recovering, and finding a degree of stability that is encouraging. The north of the country, which is in Kurdish hands, is the most stable, and hence, most touristic part of the country. The south is divided between Sunni and Shite religious factions and, although interesting to visit, is a tad less stable. The most interesting part of this map is the detailed street map of Baghdad on Side 2. This is the only known paper map of the city and became famous during the siege of Baghdad in 2003 as it was the ONLY map available to the Allied forces approaching the city. Nine million copies were printed by National Geographic Society for their excellent article on the city and was used by countless soldiers trying to find their way safely around a very complex urban area. Fortunately, it is reasonably safe to visit it now. Definitely a country for adventure tourism!
