Ur Tourist City

Ur Tourist City (Arabic: مدينة أور السياحية) is a modern heritage and tourism hub established beside the archaeological site of the Sumerian city Ur in Dhi Qar, Iraq, home to the Ziggurat of Ur and – according to Bible and Q'uran – the birthplace of Abraham. The project is intended to provide structured access for pilgrims and visitors and to evolve into a functioning modern city incorporating tourism, residential, educational, and cultural components, with buildings designed to reflect ancient Mesopotamian architecture. It includes Iraq's first dedicated film and media production complex, featuring a large studio for historical Mesopotamian-era works. Construction is being implemented in multi-phase stages under the supervision of the Iraqi Council of Ministers.
