I had no idea that you can visit the ancient city of Nineveh in real life! Nineveh was the capital and largest city of the Neo-Assyrian Empire, as well as the largest city in the world for several decades. So this was a very important city that Jonah was supposed to come to before getting swallowed by the big fish 😜 This was our last night in Iraq and we were so grateful to get to see Nineveh before we left! Unfortunately, like many areas in and around Mosul, part of Nineveh was destroyed by ISIS - but the family of the local guide that @bilweekend connected us with is doing so much to restore the province of Nineveh, so it was really inspiring to hear about the work planned here. We are soooo grateful for our time in Mosul and amazed by people's joy and kindness through all they have experienced. This was a really special way to end our time in Iraq, and we will forever treasure the memories of connecting with people here and being inspired by them!! _________________________________________ If you're new here, we're an American travel couple on a trip to visit every country 🌍 We've traveled for 7 years (starting by RVing the 50 states) but we're not experts of adventure travel tips or couples travel - or really anything other than getting hangry 😂 We'd love for you to follow along to visit every country in the world with us 🎉 #travel #travelcouple #everycountry #adventuretravel #couplestravel #travelcouples #iraqtravel #iraq #mosuliraq #visitmosul #mosul #mosultravel #nineveh #ninevehtravel #iraqtourism #visitiraq
