For practical tips when visiting Nasiriyah: modest clothing is recommended, especially when visiting religious sites and rural areas (women may need a head covering in some places); cash payment is prevalent in most places, so carry sufficient Iraqi Dinars as credit cards are not widely accepted; the city is famous for its vibrant street food scene at night with recommended dishes including kebda, mandi, falafel, and kubba saray; and visa requirements mean most nationalities need an electronic visa (e-Visa) before arrival with passports required to be valid for at least six months. Travelers have reported positive experiences, describing the marshes as magical with incredible hospitality from Marsh Arabs, the Ziggurat of Ur as awe-inspiring, and the city as vibrant with a safe street food scene in the evenings.
