Iraq

Iraq is a country in Western Asia. The capital, Baghdad, is in the centre of the country and its largest city. Iraq is the birthplace of many of the Earth's oldest civilizations, including the Babylonians and the Assyrians. A part of the Ottoman Empire from 1534, the Treaty of Sèvres brought the area under British control in 1918. A Muslim-majority country, it is known primarily for its rich maqam heritage which has been passed down orally by the masters of the maqam in an unbroken chain of transmission leading up to the present.

Michelle Took Care of Everything!

I’m not very good with words, but I wanted to share how much I appreciated Michelle arranging my recent trip. She took care of everything for me — from picking the perfect seats on my flights to arranging wheelchair assistance so I could get through the airports without any stress. It made such a big difference and took all the worry out of travelling. I felt completely looked after. Thank you, Michelle, for making my trip so easy and comfortable.
