Baghdad nights sparkle in Ramadan.. Crowded restaurants and explanations until dawn

 The restaurants, cafes, and popular places of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, are almost crowded with the advent of the month of Ramadan, in light of the security situation and the decline in the impact of the “Corona” virus.

Central Baghdad areas, such as Karrada, Dora, Mansour and Yarmouk, as well as the main cafes and public sites, witness heavy crowds and a heavy presence of citizens, whether for a picnic after breakfast, or until the early hours of dawn, in addition to the fact that many mosques remain open.

The source of this is the security stability that the city is witnessing, and the security forces were able to clamp down on ISIS members and the mild weather, in addition to the rehabilitation work that took place during the past months in a number of important sites.

In the city of Karrada, in the center of the capital, Baghdad, where its streets are decorated with flyers welcoming the holy month, many residents of the surrounding areas come to it, because of its beautiful atmosphere and the presence of many restaurants, cafes, and ice cream shops, as well as gardens overlooking on the Tigris River.

Young Ihab al-Shammari, a resident of the capital, said that "after breakfast, most young people go to cafes and casinos overlooking the Tigris River, to have hot or cold drinks, in addition to playing domino or something else."

The Iraqi youth added, in an interview with "Sky News Arabia", that "the atmosphere in the capital is witnessing severe congestion, despite the political strife and the delay in forming the government, as we seek to get out of this crucible and forget the residents of the Green Zone and their problems."

And he points out that "Ramadan this year has another taste, due to the lack of infections with the Corona virus, and the moderation of the weather as well, in light of the temperatures that were witnessed in previous seasons."
