🇮🇶 How to recognise Iraq in Street View
Iraq is in the Middle East. Here's how to tell you've landed in Iraq when Far Fetched drops you there in Street View.
| Drive on | the right ➡️ |
|---|---|
| Signs in | Arabic, Kurdish |
| Region | the Middle East |
| Borders | Iran, Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Turkey |
Clues to look for
Flat, dusty plains and palm trees, with Arabic signs. The north is greener and hillier, with Kurdish signs.
Driving side
Cars in Iraq drive on the right. So do Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Bahrain, Qatar and United Arab Emirates, which are also in the Middle East. Most of the world drives on the right, so this alone won't narrow it down much: check the signs next.
Countries it's easy to confuse with Iraq
