Al Mutanabbi Street is a historic avenue located in the heart of Baghdad, Iraq, named after the famous 10th-century classical Arab poet, Al-Mutanabbi. This bustling thoroughfare has long been the cultural and intellectual hub of Baghdad, renowned for its book market and literary significance. Every Friday, the street comes alive with book lovers, intellectuals, and vendors selling a wide array of books, from religious texts and history to contemporary literature and educational materials. Surrounding the street are numerous traditional coffeehouses, tea shops, and stationery stores that have been frequented by writers, poets, and thinkers for decades. Despite the tumultuous events that have unfolded in Baghdad, Al Mutanabbi Street has remained a symbol of Iraqi resilience and heritage. It was the site of a tragic car bombing in 2007, resulting in significant loss. However, the community's determination led to the street's restoration and the continuation of its legacy as a center of learning and free thought.
