November to March is the right window. Basra is one of Iraq's hottest cities in summer, with daytime temperatures approaching 50C that make the corniche and the groves hard work. Winters are mild and clear.
Things to do in Basra
The Shatt al-Arab Corniche
A promenade along the river with tea gardens, moored boats and the lights of the far bank. Where the city gathers in the evening cool, and free to walk.
The Basra Museum
Housed in a former palace, the museum shows Sumerian, Babylonian and Assyrian material together, a single-stop introduction to the archaeology of southern Iraq.
Al-Qurnah
The confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates, about 70 km north of the city. The colour difference between the two rivers and the old tree on the bank are visible on the spot.
The date groves
The palm groves along the Shatt al-Arab are Basra's classic landscape. The harvest falls in autumn, and roadside stalls sell fresh dates.
The canals and shanasheel houses
The inner canals and the houses with wooden oriel windows are the city's old fabric. Some has been restored and some is still waiting for repair.
Sindbad Island
A small island in the Shatt al-Arab, linked by bridge and laid out as a park. The easiest place to see the river from the middle.
