Your guided walk includes stories behind the park’s name “Zawraa,” linked to Baghdad’s Abbasid heritage and the nearby curve of the Tigris River. As you explore, the skyline shifts to reveal the Zawraa Tower, a key architectural landmark once central to Iraq’s telecommunications and now a notable city symbol.
