The river Tigris passes through Mosul, the communication and business center of the north, situated 400 kms. from

Baghdad; it can be reached by road, rail, and air.  On the left bank of  the river are the ruins of NINVEH (the most famous

capital of the Assyrians).  The main attraction in visiting Mosul are the Museum, the Old Al Nuri Mosque with its leaning

minaret, the 13th century palace of Qara Sarai, some of its churches and monasteries, the old Bazaar. 

Mosul is called "The City with the two Springs Season" because of its exceptionally fine climate.  An annual spring festival

is held in April.
