Lane (zukhak) in eastern Baghdad. River Tigris duration Baghdad on the eastern (Rusafah) and western (Karkh) parts. In Karkh were places of old Baghdad, with low houses and narrow streets so that there can not drive a car. Houses that are close to each other, that neighbours live as one family: a lot of women talking, sitting on the thresholds of houses, children playing with each other.(Photo by Hadi Mizban)
