As Iraq gradually settles down, it will be possible for visitors to return in bulk. At the moment, only the Kurdish-controlled north could be considered ‘safe’, and tourism is growing. Two international airports already receive planeloads of visitors from Europe, and the border with Turkey is one of the busiest crossing points in the world. ITMB has been involved with mapping Iraq since before the first Gulf War, when we provided the only map of Iraq then in print. By the time of the second war, commonly called the Iraq War (or George Bush’s Folly, if you prefer), ITMB had a more sophisticated map, but one that had to be prepared under extremely trying circumstances. The third edition came out after the ‘allies’ (read Americans) had occupied the country, but before it was safe for anyone but the most foolhardy to go there. This edition updates and improves upon all earlier editions. In addition, we have replaced our separate map of Baghdad with new artwork that is both up-to-date and will be responsive to changes as they unfold.
We love technology and enjoy the convenience of GPS, but you can’t plan a trip on a phone screen and navigation doesn’t work where there’s no cell signal. Start your next trip on the right foot with a high-quality folding travel map. Make the most of your next adventure, even if you lose GPS or cell signals. You’ll always be on the correct route with our folding travel maps. Your adventure starts here!
