Plan around your own access needs and confirm each booking before paying. First check current safety advice. The UK FCDO advises against all travel to some parts of Iraq and against all but essential travel to others, including the Kurdistan Region. Advice can change.
- Choose destinations, activities and a season that suit your interests and budget. Check entry requirements for your passport, destination and entry point with the relevant Iraqi authorities.
- Ask the airline and airports about assistance, your wheelchair and any battery. Ask a transport provider about vehicle access, transfers and space for your chair. Confirm the return journey too.
- Ask hotels for measurements and photos of the exact room, bathroom and step-free route. For example, Erbil Rotana lists wheelchair-accessible rooms on request and roll-in showers. Confirm availability and suitability for your dates; this is not a guarantee for other hotels.
- Check each site's entrance, paths, toilets and current opening with its operator. Request a written quote for accessible transport and any assistance. Leave time for rest and ask providers for current journey times rather than filling every day.
What cities, dates, budget and wheelchair or transfer needs do you have? These details help narrow the plan.
