Samarra was the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate between 836 and 892 CE and is one of the largest archaeological cities in the world, stretching for 40 kilometres along the Tigris. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with palaces, mosques, gardens and canals now mostly buried under desert. The modern city is home to the Al-Askari Shrine, a major Shia pilgrimage place. Samarra tour packages combine well with Baghdad, usually as a day trip.
