What Travelers

“I have known Ali since 2021, when we first travelled together through Najaf and its surroundings. Since then, I have met him many times again, in Najaf, Baghdad and elsewhere in Iraq, and I am very happy to call him a friend today. With Ali, I discovered Najaf in a way I could never have done alone: the Imam Ali Shrine, the old city, its streets and markets, the wider governorate and the extraordinary landscapes beyond the city. Most importantly, he took me through the Sea of Najaf and its abandoned villages, which remain, years later, among the places I love and cherish most in Iraq. Ali knows his region deeply, but what I remember above all is his generosity, his curiosity and his incredible hospitality. Travelling with him never felt like being on a tour. It felt like discovering a place with a friend who genuinely wanted to share it with you. I cannot recommend Ali highly enough.”

“My friend and I did a tour with Ali to visit as many places as possible in Iraq. He showed us so many beautiful and interesting sites that you won’t find on your own. And along the way we met so many amazing friends who helped to show us around their city. I felt very safe and comfortable traveling with Ali, he always made sure we had what we needed and was always happy to answer our questions. I would love to do another trip with him in the future!”

“The tour in Baghdad was very beautiful. To explain to us the history of the most important landmarks of Baghdad and its historical cities, and we enjoyed the beautiful popular restaurants. We talked to people and everywhere we visited it, where the Iraqis added to the place with their talk, a beautiful addition. I will return to the visit to northern Iraq with ali.”
