About Ali Babylon Tours
Ali Babylon Tours is a private tour operator based in Baghdad, Iraq, run by Ali — a local guide born near the ruins of ancient Babylon who has safely guided 200+ international travellers through the country.
Unlike companies operating from offices in Europe or Dubai, Ali lives and works in Iraq. That means genuine local knowledge, real access, and the ability to get guests into places most operators can't — including restricted areas of Babylon and Saddam's abandoned palaces.
Tours range from 3-day Baghdad city breaks to 12-day complete Iraq itineraries. Destinations include Baghdad, Babylon, Karbala, Najaf, the Mesopotamian Marshes (UNESCO), the Ziggurat of Ur, Mosul, Samarra, and the mountains of Iraqi Kurdistan.
Every tour is fully private — no strangers, no rigid schedule, no fixed group departures. In Baghdad, guests stay at Ali's own traditional guesthouse on the Tigris river, a place not available on any booking platform.
