haysha m8 June 2024Baghdad again The best travel agency, best organitiation , kind and ever present . The hotels were good, the driver very good and the tour guide always on time and very cultured.
Richard M29 May 2024Exceeded my expectations I was involved with the adventure travel industry for many years and for nearly two decades ran tours all over the Middle East. Regrettably, Iraq was ‘off limits’ for most of that time. Had I set up a tour operation here I would have been more than happy to use this agency as a ground handler. From the start I found Ahmed very helpful in the planning stages of my trip, offering useful suggestions in regard to sights and distances. On the ground, everything went very smoothly: hotels were fine and team that travelled with me (Abdullah, driver, and Leo, guide) were friendly, fun and knowledgeable. It beggars belief that some countries still have a ‘Do Not Travel’ notice out on Iraq. This simply confirms the ignorance of governments, including mine. I walked the streets of Baghdad at night and felt safer than in many other cities in the world. Think LA, for example. I highly recommend a visit to Iraq, either solo or with friends and would happily recommend these guys as a local travel agency.
Danny N23 April 2024Iraq in 8 days Excellent tour. We did cover the 3 main Abrahamic faith historical sites and some countryside with Mohamed and Qusay, who were absolute fun. Polite, professional and above all punctual. The sad part was that we didn't get to go to Mosul and Hatra due to some restriction, however, the owner: Mr. Ahmed substituted it with other historical sites. Had a great time, wonderful people, excellent food and felt very very safe. Definitely recommend to visit Iraq.
S N13 March 2024Historical, spiritual, and very tasty! Our trip around Iraq was magnificent - much in part due to Aknaf Alsawary Tours and the guide and driver we were paired with. My dad is a history guy, and it can be hard to match his knowledge. Still our guide was well versed in the history and significance of the various empires, sites, and shared so much information with us. Outside Baghdad, we visited Karbala, Babylon, Samarra, Najaf, Ziggurat of Ur, Ctesiphon, and recommend all of them, (Babylon being a personal favorite). In Baghdad, there was plenty to see and keep us busy. Don’t snooze on Baghdad Museum, as it does a great job capturing the millennia of history of the land, with artifacts and timelines, which helped to piece together all that we were seeing in our tour. It had been a while since I left the U.S., but I’ve travelled plenty over the decades, and I’ll say this trip was one of the best. The food is delicious, the people warm and friendly, and the history unmatched. Thank you for an experience of a lifetime 💖
Shahreyar K8 March 2024What an experience! I started working with Ahmed (Aknaf Tours) in October and despite my MULTIPLE changes in dates, trip duration, flight changes (including one 48 hours before my departure), itinerary tweaks, group size changes - Ahmed was super patient with me! From the moment we landed in Baghdad, I felt super comfortable and very well taken care off! I was constantly checked after and the flexibility in the itinerary provided me with an incredible experience! Our guide (Salah) and our driver (Sadiq) were attentive to any requests - I honestly felt like I was traveling with family. To top it all off, we were invited to a late lunch (which ended in a dinner!) with Ahmed. At the end of the meal, we were one big family … I can’t wait to go back and see my Iraqi family.
Robo K7 February 20248 days trip in Iraq We had great trip with Aknaf agency, the service was excellent. Driver Sadik was like an encyclopedy, he knew all places we visited. The hotels were good, the whole trip was very well organised. I recommend this agency to everybody, who wants to know this beautiful country!
Kaz10 January 2024My first trip to Iraq Like everyone else written here, I really recommend Aknaf Alsawary Tours. We really enjoyed the tour with our guide Leo and an excellent and skilled driver. Thank you, Leo!You are a very good guide!! Ahmed planned the tour according to our request. He was always quick to respond and his work was great. They are really professional! とにかく、彼らは信頼できます。ツアーのアレンジから、ツアー中の対応、しっかりおもてなしをしてくれました。 結果、彼らにお願いしてよかったと思います。本当に楽しかったし、素晴らしい経験ができました。 治安についてはその時の状況にもよるかと思いますが、私たちがいた1週間ほど、特に問題はなく、また危険と思うこともありませんでした。
Megan N5 January 2024Tour in Iraq Visiting Iraq with Aknaf Alsawary Tours was an incredible experience! Iraq has so many amazing sites and so much history. My guide Leo was incredible! He had so much knowledge and shared so much history. It was more like traveling with a friend than a tour guide he was so much fun and helped with anything that was needed. The driver was also so great! Very skillful and safe. They know lots of good places for the best food in Iraq. Seriously an amazing experience and I already want to go back and explore more of Iraq with them again.
Jacky H3 January 2024The best travel agency in Iraq!! Aknaf provides the best and fastest service. Iraq has been my favorite country ever ❤️ Aknaf Alsawary is surely the best travel agency that every tourist who wants to travel to Iraq should contact. They provide great service and fast response. Also, they care about every detail of your tour. I enjoy my time with them in Iraq and definitely I will go with them for my next trip to Iraq, which I am super excited for!! I had my trip with them in Baghdad only this time due to the time limit. I hope I can travel to the north part of Iraq for my second trip to this amazing, gorgeous, friendly country. Beside, it's worth mentioning here for travellers who are confused about the visa issue to Iraq. Mr. Ahmad from Aknaf is really professional and helpful with this issue. So I recommend people contact them instead of other travel agencies because Ahmad will make sure you travel smoothly with the best visa option and of course, they will make sure you spend less on obtaining an appropriate visa. Don't hesitate to contact Aknaf. I really can't wait to travel to Iraq next time!! 非常推薦Aknaf旅行社給所有華人旅客,服務非常好,回覆速度很快,也很注意細節,更不必擔心語言溝通上的障礙!我非常喜歡伊拉克,也很感謝Aknaf旅行社Ahmad先生的大力協助才能讓我順利入境伊拉克。期待下次再與他們合作,再次拜訪這個中東古老友善的文明古國!再次感謝!
Wendy S19 December 2023PERFECT TOUR They are a very professional agency. Im Mexican, I traveled alone and I was on a tour with a Spanish-speaking guide (Mohammed, who by the way congratulations), which was a great surprise. The transportation used was of high quality and the attention was personalized. They managed the visit the most representative places in Iraq in record time. The entire time I felt safe and comfortable with them. Also the owner of the agency, Ahmad, and the guide Ali were always attentive to the needs of the travelers. I highly recommend them.Load more

Harry Mason2024-05-29I recently organised a private 7-day trip with this agency, visiting Baghdad, Samarra, Babylon, Karbala, Najaf and the Marshes. I dealt with Ahmed, by email, and found him very helpful in the planning stages. On the ground everything was very well organised. My driver, Abdullah, and guide, Leo, were both excellent and fun to travel with. At no stage were there any safety concerns, which makes a complete mockery of the ‘do not travel’ advice suggested by many governments. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip and would happily recommend this agency.
Jörg Krüger2024-04-03A perfect trip to Baghdad, Samarra, Karbala, Nadjaf, Babylon, Ur, Uruk, Marshes and Basra! The sights were very impressing! All hotels were very comfortable and our guide Mohammed and driver Sadiq were very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. They organized everything well and in time! They took us for example with them to restaurants with delicious food. So all in all it was a great experience! We travel a lot and their service is extraordinary!

abdullah alqaisi2024-02-26"From my experience with Aknaf Al-Sawari, I can affirm that it is one of the best historical tourism companies in Iraq. The service provided to us was exceptional in every measure; from punctuality to attention to the smallest details. The tours they organized for us were a masterpiece that transported us through time, allowing us to explore the deep and rich history of Iraq in an enjoyable and knowledgeable way. The tour guides were highly knowledgeable and passionate about history, which added a cultural and educational dimension to the trip that was unforgettable. Aknaf Al-Sawari didn't just offer us a tourist tour, but an amazing historical journey through the corridors of time. Certainly, this experience opened our eyes to the beauty and grandeur of Iraqi history in a way we did not expect. I highly recommend Aknaf Al-Sawari to anyone looking for a unique historical tourism experience in Iraq.
