We arrived in Baghdad via Paris and Amman 38 hours after departing the U.S. Nice hotel accomodations in Amman, a city built on 7 good size hills, and within easy drive of the Dead Sea. We plan to visit the Dead Sea, maybe even Jerusalem, N'sh'allah, on the return trip. could be interesting.
First impressions of Baghdad: dust, dust, and more dust. We are approaching the end of Ramadan, so the city has been relatively quiet (emphasis on the relatively). We expect a lot of noise, from many sources, once Ramadan ends.
Food is good, and it's plentiful. Water is unsafe, go for the bottled stuff only.
Sunsets are quite attractive - credit the dust in the air.
