What should I wear while on tour?
Modesty and comfort are key. We recommend lightweight, breathable clothing that covers shoulders and knees, especially when visiting rural or religious areas. A hat and good walking shoes are also essential. We'll send you a detailed packing guide once you register.

Our tours are primarily conducted in English and Arabic but we also offer guides fluent in other languages upon request.

Not at all. While our tours are designed with a biblical focus, they are open to anyone interested in history, archaeology, and culture. Many guests are deeply moved by the connection between the ancient sites and the biblical stories they’ve heard, while others simply appreciate the opportunity to explore one of the world’s oldest civilizations.
When is the best time to visit Iraq?
The best months for travel are September through April, when temperatures are mild and comfortable. Summer months (especially June to August) can be extremely hot so if you're okay with some heat we'll still be glad to accommodate any way we can.
