The head of the Dhi Qar Reconstruction Fund, Mohammed Jawad, announced that the tourist city of Ur receives approximately 300 visitors per month from inside and outside Iraq.
Jawad said, according to the official agency, that "there are cadres within the tourist city of Ur who submit a report on the number of visitors to the city, which reaches 300 visitors per month from countries and governorates within Iraq." He explained that "revitalizing the tourism sector in Dhi Qar is required."
He emphasized that "the tourist city of Ur was established near the ancient city of Ur to stimulate the tourism sector, and one of the most important projects supporting the tourism sector is the construction of Nasiriyah Airport." He noted that "the strategy developed by the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers to implement such projects that support Dhi Qar is positive, and we consider it a model for other governorates."
He stressed "the need to develop future plans for the governorates, such as activating the agricultural and industrial sectors, which will reduce the burden on the state and oil revenues." He noted that "Dhi Qar includes two tourist sites: the tourist city of Ur and the Al-Chibayish Marshes, which receive many tourists."
He explained that "during our visit, the mayor of Al-Chibayish presented us with statistics on tourists visiting the marshes, despite the marshes being affected by the scarcity of water discharges." He explained that "the fund has a clear impact within the governorate and its projects cover all sectors."
He explained that "Dhi Qar is currently enjoying a good security situation, thanks to cooperation with the security forces and continuous daily communication with the Dhi Qar Police Command regarding the projects it supports." He explained that "the Dhi Qar Police Command is cooperating with the fund."
