This city guide to Baghdad follows the hugely successful Iraq: The Bradt Travel Guide and, like the Kabul guide, will be a vital reference tool for international aid workers, NGOs, journalists and anyone with an interest in the city's development. The war and its aftermath has changed the face of the city, and this guide will be the single source of information on services, phone numbers, hotels, shops and other basic needs. Catherine Arnold has carried out her research in post-war Baghdad, and this pocket-sized guide combines historical detail with essential information and advice for Westerners on living and working in the city and its surrounds. This guide features: · Information on the new face of Baghdad--the first travel guide to do so · Coverage of cultural and historical landmarks · Comprehensive advice on safety, security, health and communications · People and culture in depth, including words, phrases and proverbs · City maps and plans, with place and street names in Arabic
