Re: Travel safety in Iraqi Kurdistan?

I was in Arbil and Lalish in medio September, so before the new attacks. I crossed the border with buss from Urmia in Iran.

I felt very safe back then. From watching CNN it looks still okay, but a little worse.

I have asked the guide I used. I will update you when he answers

I used the site that "sevhoff" writes about. I used them in September, and it worked out great.

Re: Question about train Dushanbe-Moscow and Moscow-Khodjent

I did Termez - Dushanbe on the train September 2019.

The train was a bit smelly

Border crossing was fine. Uzbek side was done on the train at a stop. Tajik side was done on the move.
