🇮🇶 Iraq eSIM

Currency:

Iraq, the cradle of ancient Mesopotamian civilisation, is home to some of humanity's oldest cities: Babylon, Ur, Nineveh, and the remarkable marshlands of the Ahwar—a UNESCO World Heritage site that was the biblical Garden of Eden. Baghdad, the ancient Abbasid capital, is experiencing a cultural renaissance with restored souks and world-class museums. Erbil in the Kurdistan Region is one of the world's continuously inhabited cities and a growing tourist destination with excellent safety record for visitors. An eSIM for Iraq provides solid 4G LTE connectivity in Baghdad, Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, and the Kurdistan Region. Security conditions vary significantly by region—always consult your government's current travel advice.

Tip: Kurdistan Region (Erbil, Sulaymaniyah) has excellent 4G; Baghdad has solid coverage; more remote southern marshlands have limited signal—download offline maps before exploring Ahwar.

Where coverage thins out: Serious security advisories for many parts of the country; extreme summer heat (50°C+); limited tourist infrastructure outside Kurdistan; entry requirements can be complex.

Frequently asked questions

The Kurdistan Region (Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, Duhok) has a good safety record and is visited by many travelers. Central and southern Iraq carry higher risks. Always consult your government's specific regional travel advice.

The Mesopotamian Marshes (Ahwar) are a UNESCO World Heritage site—the ancient homeland of the Marsh Arabs (Ma'dan) and believed by some to be the location of the biblical Garden of Eden. They're recovering after draining under Saddam Hussein.

The Iraqi dinar (IQD). USD is also widely accepted in tourist areas. Cards are rarely accepted outside large hotels in Baghdad and Erbil.

Excellent—Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, and Duhok all have strong 4G coverage. Mountain areas near the Iranian and Turkish borders have more limited signal.
