Greengirl: Norwegian Journalist took a Vacation in Iraq
What it’s like to vacation in Iraq
Published 30th April 2019
(CNN) — When you’re deciding your next vacation destination, it’s unlikely that Iraq will be top of your list.
The Middle Eastern country has long been synonymous with conflict or turmoil — and the idea of wandering Baghdad snapping photos seems pretty far fetched.
But Norwegian photographer Christian Lindgren did just that — jetting off to Iraq for an unconventional holiday, touring the country’s historical sights, meeting locals and trying out great food.
Lindgren photographed the experience and shared the snaps on his social media and website. He hopes people will see the images and rethink their view of Iraq.
“People can actually see that the country is moving forward,” he tells CNN Travel. “The situation is getting a lot better these days, because what you see in the media is just the bad side of the country.”
