BaghdadSeriously.
I grew up on fairytales, 1001 Arabian nights, all that sort of stuff, so I'd love to see the real Baghdad once it's safe to visit there.
And I want to do the Silk Road on horseback one day too.

I've never really read anything about BaghdadYou say "Baghdad" and you just think of wars and terrorism and Terry Waite. I think.

I went to Marrakesha couple of years ago and that was pretty much exactly like that, I half expected to see flying carpets and people hiding in those huge wicker baskets. It was awesome though, the way they live is just so different from the UK.
