After breakfast at the hotel, we complete our check-out procedures and board our bus with our belongings. We first depart for Medain. Here, we will visit the esteemed companions Salman al-Farisi, Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman, Abdullah ibn Jabir al-Ansari, and Tahir ibn Imam Muhammad al-Baqir, respectively. Caliph Umar appointed Salman al-Farisi as the governor of Medain because of his contribution to the establishment of the city of Kufa. He continued to serve as governor until the final years of Caliph Uthman’s caliphate and is known to have died in Medain in 35 AH (656 CE). After our visits, we return to Baghdad. Before exploring the Old City, we will visit Ahmad ibn Hanbal, one of the imams of the Sunni schools of jurisprudence. After receiving information about the mausoleum complex and paying our respects, we see the cultural heritage sites in the ancient city of Baghdad and its surroundings: Al-Mutanabbi Street, Haydar Khana, Saray Bazaar, and, after shopping and a tea-and-coffee break at Shahbandar Café, we take a panoramic tour of the city’s most distinguished areas to discover Baghdad’s modern and vibrant sides. First, we see Arasat Street, known as Baghdad’s “Nişantaşı,” one of the city’s most prestigious neighborhoods with its elegant cafés, luxury boutiques, and modern atmosphere. We then pass panoramically through the Karrada district, one of Baghdad’s liveliest shopping and social centers, a vibrant area day and night with its cafés, boutiques, and shops. Afterwards, we go to the famous “Meskuf” fish restaurant for dinner, where grilled freshwater carp is served. We then depart for Baghdad Airport. After completing the ticket and passport procedures at the Turkish Airlines counter, we fly to Istanbul at 02:50 and arrive at Istanbul Airport at 06:00
