How to Travel to Baghdad with Oman Air

Summers in Baghdad bring a desert climate that’s hot and dry, which will suit visitors with indoor itineraries. Most travellers love the city in its winter months, however, when the temperatures allow for outdoor exploration as well. October–November and March–April are peak seasons for visitors.

Baghdad International Airport (BGW) lies a 30-minute drive from the city centre via Airport St and Baghdad Airport Rd, and the route is signposted. If you don’t want to drive yourself, you can organise a private transfer or take a registered airport taxi.
