Start Your New Life as an Expat in Baghdad

Everyone is aware of the destruction that has befallen the once majestic city of Baghdad over the past few decades, yet there are still many expats living and working in the capital. Efforts to restore the city's infrastructure and improve the security situation have reassured many people considering the move. The Green Zone in particular has a strong military presence and has a number of restaurants, cafes, and shops; this area is also home to Zawra Park and Baghdad Zoo. For more information on what it's really like to live in Baghdad, connect with our members today and hear their experiences; our expats are always eager to share their knowledge and offer advice to those in the same boat as themselves.

InterNations is the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities around the world. Meet fellow global minds in your city of residence or get to know local expatriates before you're moving or traveling abroad and never feel like a stranger. InterNations makes it easy for you to stay in touch with your expat friends, both online and offline, so you can grow your network of friends and contacts from all over the world.
