Upon arriving in Iraq, there are a myriad of things to see. Topping this list, in my opinion, is the Imam Ali Mosque.  Considered to be the third holiest site for Shia Muslims, this architectural wonder built in 977 is believed to be the burial place of Islam's second most important figure, Ali.

Another breathtaking monument in Iraq is the Ziggurat of Ur, located in the Dhi Qar Provence. Under the rule of Ur-Nammu, this ziggurat was constructed sometime between 2113 and 2096 B.C. This particular site is believed by some historians to be the original site for the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

                                                    

The last place in Iraq I'm forcing you to go to is the Al Shaheed Monument in Baghdad. This monument is dedicated to the Iraqi soldiers who lost their lives in the Iran-Iraq war. Opened in 1983, this monument is one of Iraq's must-see monuments.
