The Great Ziggurat of Ur —ancient Sumerian capital, birthplace of Prophet Abraham according to three of the world’s major religions, and one of the best-preserved ziggurats on earth— sits near Nasiriyah with no hotel of international standard nearby, no signage on the roads leading to it, and no visitor infrastructure of any kind.
