Best time to travel to Iraq

Discover the ideal time to visit Iraq

The best time to visit Iraq is during the spring months of March to May and the autumn months of September to November. During these periods, the weather is more temperate and comfortable for exploring the country's rich historical sites and natural beauty.

In the spring, temperatures range from 15° to 25°, making it an ideal time to visit iconic locations such as Baghdad, with its bustling markets and cultural landmarks like the Al-Mustansiriya School.

The ancient city of Babylon, with its impressive ruins, is also more enjoyable to explore in the mild weather.

Autumn is equally pleasant, with temperatures ranging from 20° to 30°. This is a great time to visit Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Region, known for its historic citadel and vibrant bazaars.

The cooler weather also makes it perfect for hiking in the Zagros Mountains, which offer stunning landscapes and a chance to experience the natural beauty of Iraq.

For those interested in religious history, the cities of Najaf and Karbala are significant pilgrimage sites and are best visited during these cooler months to avoid the extreme heat of the summer, which can reach up to 50°.

In summary, spring and autumn provide the most comfortable temperatures for exploring Iraq's diverse attractions.
