What to pack for Baghdad in the fall

In the fall, Baghdad experiences mild to warm temperatures with occasional rainfall.

It is advisable to bring lightweight, breathable clothing such as cotton or linen shirts, pants, and dresses. Layering is important, so pack a few long-sleeved tops and a light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings. Given the conservative nature of Iraqi culture, it is recommended to dress modestly, particularly for women. Long, loose-fitting tops and pants or maxi skirts are appropriate.

It is also wise to bring a scarf or shawl to cover your shoulders when visiting religious sites or conservative areas. Comfortable shoes are a must, as there may be a fair amount of walking on uneven terrain. Closed-toe shoes are ideal for protecting your feet from dust and debris. Don't forget a hat and sunglasses for sun protection, and a waterproof layer in case of rain.

Overall, the key is to pack clothing that is modest, versatile, and suitable for both warm days and cooler evenings.
