I am very glad that Spiekermann Travel Services was been brave enough to organize the trips to Kurdistan and Southern Iraq. The time I spent in these two regions was most educational, and as a student of Ancient Mesopotamia, it was thrilling to see the great sites of Ur, Uruk, Babylon, and Ctesiphon, not to mention the fabulous Iraq Museum in Baghdad. The Imam Ali Shrine in Najaf and the Imam Ali Mausoleum in Kufa were magnificent beyond words.
