Day Tour Samarra


The ancient city of Samarra is one of the most important cultural sites in the world. It's the only surviving Islamic capital that retains its original plan, architecture, and arts—such as mosaics and carvings.

One of Iraq's most famous and iconic structures is the Great Mosque of Samarra (Malwiya Mosque) and its Spiral Minaret, which rises 52 meters over Samara and provides sweeping vistas of the desert landscapes below.

Samarra was once a city of great wealth and splendor. Its plan was the only one ever to be recorded, and it is this unique plan that allows us to see how Samarra looked when it was first built. The city has survived because it was abandoned relatively early in history, so there were no continual rebuilding projects like those that plagued other cities.

If you've been itching to escape the city and into the desert, then look no further than the ancient city of Samarra.
