Torn between its glorious past and its recent bloody history, Iraq is a country in turmoil. Just as the place was beginning to recover from the 2003 US-led invasion and its aftermath, jihadist group Isis took control of large swathes of the country’s north in 2014. The tide may have turned back in favour of the Iraqi government with the recapture of Mosul and other cities in 2017, but most of Iraq remains extremely dangerous. However in the northern region which is officially governed by the Kurdistan Regional Government a own world has established with a certain level of stability. Religious, Cultural, Archaeological  and Adventure Tourism is promoted.
