Some journeys are too big to do alone — and too meaningful to do with a crowd.
That’s where our small group tours to Iraq from the U.S. come in.
In 2025 and 2026, we’re offering intimate, fully guided tours for American travelers ready to explore Iraq’s sacred cities, ancient ruins, and living cultures—safely, comfortably, and in good company.
With travelers craving deeper, more meaningful experiences, Iraq has emerged as one of the most soul-stirring destinations in the world. And with our carefully curated small group departures from the U.S., you can experience it all without the stress of solo planning.
Each departure is limited to 6–12 travelers, giving you the connection of a group without the overwhelm of a crowd.
From your first inquiry to your return flight, we handle:
U.S.-based pre-departure support
Visa facilitation (Federal Iraq & Kurdistan)
Flight planning assistance (via Istanbul, Doha, or Dubai)
24/7 in-country coordination
Our groups are made up of curious, respectful travelers — many from the U.S. — seeking cultural immersion, historical insight, and human connection, not just sightseeing.
Your trip will be led by licensed Iraqi guides, trained historians, and cultural interpreters — plus an experienced American tour leader on select departures.

“We were just 9 travelers — and by the end, we felt like a family. Iraq was unlike anywhere I’ve been, and we felt safe every step.”
