Restoration funding for 15,000 sites depends on budget
Iraq faces significant challenges in rehabilitating the 15,000 archaeological sites housed within its heritage, requiring substantial funding due to the current economic situation. The General Authority of Antiquities and Heritage is working to transform some historical buildings into cultural centers and tourist destinations, with a focus on sites such as Babylon, Ur, and the Al-Nouri Mosque. Additionally, efforts are underway to improve infrastructure in provinces with great tourism potential, such as Nineveh and Karbala. Currently, rehabilitation is limited to some sites, and project funding depends on the government’s budget. Officials believe that releasing this budget will enable the allocation of funds to promote archaeological and cultural tourism in Iraq.
