Why a private car on this line
A long trip (8 hours) usually done with two or three stops. Night travel is safe and the usual choice on these lines: most travellers leave at night to arrive in the morning, or pick a larger car (van or GMC) for more comfort and luggage space. The driver knows the checkpoints and the turns; you sleep.
The road passes checkpoints between governorates; carry your unified national ID (or passport for non-Iraqis) and the driver handles the rest.
Ramadi
Anbar is Iraq's largest governorate by area; its capital Ramadi sits on the Euphrates about 110 km west of Baghdad, the gateway to the international highway to Jordan and Syria.
Basra
Basra is the port city of the far south on the Shatt al-Arab, about 550 km from Baghdad on the southern highway via Kut and Amara or Hilla and Nasiriyah.
