Getting There By Rail

A railway exists between Baghdad and Basra but it is currently not working and security for foreigners may be an issue when service resumes; be guided by your embassy advice. The English version of the rail website can be found at www.motrans.gov.iq. A commuter railway is also being introduced in the Baghdad area sometime in the near future according to municipal plans.
