Why a private car on this line
A short hop that suits a same-day return: an appointment, a family visit or a working day in Kut. A private car saves you the wait for a shared car to fill, and brings you back at the time you choose.
The road passes checkpoints between governorates; carry your unified national ID (or passport for non-Iraqis) and the driver handles the rest.
Najaf
Najaf, home to the shrine of Imam Ali, is Iraq's first pilgrimage destination, about 160 km south of Baghdad with an international airport serving the Gulf and Iran. Private cars from Najaf serve pilgrims to Karbala, Baghdad and the Iranian crossings.
Kut
Wasit, with Kut on the Tigris about 170 km south-east of Baghdad, sits on the road to Amarah and Basra and near the Zurbatiya crossing into Iran.
