Hello there Haris,

Welcome to Expat.com

I have created a new thread from your post on the Iraq forum so that you may get some feedback.

You may run through the threads in the Everyday life in Iraq so as to gather some informations.

The following thread could be informative to you concerning safety : Safety in Iraq

Best of luck,
Bhavna

Hi Haris
Welcome to Basra. Security situation is quite good but life is pathetic. Rest of things are better like food, living etc. but you have to develop Arabic taste here i.e. without much spices & chili.

Regards

Ashfaq

Hi All,

I am Arvind K from India.
I have got a job in Basra, Iraq and likely to move in a month.
1) How safe is Basra now? (PRIMARY QUESTION)
2) Is it OK to move out leisurely in the weekend?
3) Are there any malls, cinema halls... etc to wander in the weekend?
4) Which is the preferred telephone network? How is the internet facility?
5) How is baking there? Which is the preferred bank?

Looking forward to hear from you ASAP.

Thanks.
