For travelers visiting Baghdad, it is important to note that the city is the capital of Iraq and the second largest city in West Asia. While it has historical significance and attractions like the National Museum of Iraq and Mutanabbi Street, the current security situation makes it necessary to exercise caution. Westerners are often targeted in terrorist attacks, so it is advised to visit Iraq only for essential purposes. Transportation options at Baghdad Airport include buses, taxis, and car rentals. However, it is strongly recommended to have secure transportation due to the high risk of attacks in the country. If traveling to Iraq for work or official reasons, it is recommended to rely on reliable means of transportation such as US Army or embassy services. ## Industries - ✈️ Air Travel _(under Travel and Tourism)_ - ✈️ Travel and Tourism ## Logos & icons - logo _(primary)_ — PNG, SVG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/id1PifARxX/w/820/h/960/theme/dark/logo.png?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1781796832968) ## Colors | Name | Hex | Theme | | --- | --- | --- | | Danube | #6da4ca | accent | | Science Blue | #0969da | dark | | Silver | #cccccc | light | ## Fonts - var(--fpb) — asset _(custom)_ - Open Sans — asset _(google)_ --- _Source: _ _See [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) for a full list of agent-readable pages, and [/auth.md](/auth.md) for how agents authenticate._
