Why you should visit Hatra in Iraq

Hatra is an ancient city in northern Iraq, located in the desert. It was once a rich trading city along the Silk Road, especially in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. Hatra is famous for its big temples, strong city walls, and a mix of Greek, Roman, and Eastern architecture. ISIS damaged the site badly, but now it is being restored. Walking through Hatra gives a special feeling, and it is best to visit with a guide from Mosul or Erbil. Today, Hatra is a symbol of Iraqi pride, culture, and strength after hard times.
