Mobile networks in Iraq

Asiacell, Zain Iraq and Korek are the three main operators in Iraq. Steady 4G coverage across Baghdad, Basra, Mosul, Najaf and Karbala. The Iraqi Kurdistan Region (Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, Duhok) has the same operators but more stable and modern infrastructure — some services better there than in central Iraq. Asiacell typically leads nationwide coverage; Zain strong in urban areas. 5G in urban trials but not commercial. Coverage at Shia pilgrimage sites (Najaf, Karbala, Samarra) is excellent. Remote desert zones (al-Anbar) have weak signal. Mixed Type C/D/G plugs (British + Iraqi legacy), 230V/50Hz.

Travel tips for Iraq

Fly into Baghdad (BGW), Erbil (EBL) or Basra (BSR). Currency Iraqi dinar (IQD), ~1,310 IQD per USD; dollar widely accepted. Iraq is affordable: dinner 5-15 USD, mid-range hotel 50-120 USD. Iraq has opened to tourism since 2021 with visa-on-arrival for many nationalities. Classic visits: Baghdad (National Museum, Mutanabbi Street), Babylon (ruins), Najaf and Karbala (Shia shrines), Ur (ziggurat). Iraqi Kurdistan (Erbil, Lalish, Amadiya, Sulaymaniyah, Halgurd mountains) is safer and more accessible — separate free Kurdish visa-on-arrival. Local guide recommended in central Iraq for safety and logistics.

Frequently asked questions about Iraq eSIM

Is it safe to travel to Iraq in 2025?
The situation has improved significantly since 2021. Baghdad, Basra and the center-south (Najaf, Karbala) are visitable with a local guide. Iraqi Kurdistan (Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, Duhok) is markedly safer and travelable independently with ease. Tribal al-Anbar zones and the Syria border remain high-risk. Check your foreign office advisories.
Do I need to register my passport for an Iraqi SIM?
Local SIMs do require passport and biometric registration. An international eSIM skips that paperwork entirely — a big advantage for visitors. Especially useful in central Iraq where bureaucratic friction can consume time.
Does an Iraqi eSIM also work in Iraqi Kurdistan?
Yes. The Kurdistan Region (KRG) uses the same national operators (Asiacell, Zain, Korek) with excellent coverage. Your Iraq eSIM will work in both Baghdad and Erbil seamlessly. The internal border between federal Iraq and KRG doesn't affect the mobile network.
