Al-Rashid Street

شارع الرشيد

Across the agesBaghdad

Opened in 1916 in the late Ottoman era, it became Baghdad’s commercial and cultural artery, with colonnaded arcades, cafés and cinemas.

It passes landmarks such as the Haydar-Khana mosque and the Shorja market, and restoration is bringing back its character.
