1. Purpose

Iraq Planner is committed to helping travellers safely access hotels, cars, and local guides in Iraq, including visits to religious and cultural sites. While we strive to connect customers with reliable providers, safety in travel also depends on the traveller’s responsibility, local conditions, and external circumstances beyond our control.

This Safety Information Policy outlines:

  • The safety measures we recommend,
  • The limits of our safety responsibility, and
  • The traveller’s role in ensuring their own well-being.

2. Our Commitment to Traveller Safety

  • Provider Vetting: We take reasonable steps to select hotels, car rental companies, and guides who operate legally and demonstrate adherence to local safety requirements.
  • Information Transparency: Where possible, we provide up-to-date information about a provider’s license or relevant certifications.
  • Local Guidance: For those booking guides, they may offer cultural and logistical advice to help travelers navigate religious and historic sites safely.

3. Traveler Responsibilities

When using Iraq Planner’s platform and services, travellers are responsible for:

  • Travel Insurance: Obtaining comprehensive travel and health insurance (including medical evacuation and trip cancellation) before departure.
  • Documents & Compliance: Carrying valid passports, visas, religious/pilgrimage permits, and complying with all immigration and security requirements.
  • Personal Safety: Exercising caution in crowded areas, safeguarding personal belongings, and following the advice of local authorities.
  • Cultural Respect: Following site‑specific rules, dress codes, and religious practices with humility and respect.
  • Communication: Sharing travel plans with family/friends and keeping copies of important documents.

4. Security & Local Conditions

  • Iraq has varying security conditions depending on region, time, and religious events. Travellers must check official government travel advisories before booking and travelling.
  • Access to specific sites may change without notice due to security or religious orders.
  • Iraq Planner does not control and cannot guarantee access, schedule, or safety of third‑party religious or public facilities.

5. Transportation Safety

  • Car rentals and drivers booked through Iraq Planner are expected to comply with Iraqi traffic laws and local safety standards.
  • Travellers are encouraged always to wear seatbelts where available, and to avoid travelling at night or alone in unfamiliar areas.

6. Hotel Safety

  • Hotels listed on our platform are responsible for meeting local safety standards (e.g., fire safety, guest registration).
  • Please take standard precautions such as confirming emergency exits, securing personal belongings, and locking rooms.

7. Guide Services Safety

  • Guides are independent providers contracted by travellers via Iraq Planner.
  • Their role is logistical and cultural guidance only; they are not professional security personnel.
  • Travellers should not rely on guides for protection in risky situations and must follow instructions from official authorities when necessary.

8. Religious Pilgrimage Safety Disclaimer

  • Iraq Planner does not oversee religious practices.
  • Pilgrimage and worship activities are personal, voluntary, and carried out at the traveller’s discretion and risk.
  • Guides may offer cultural insight, but they are not religious authorities.

9. Emergency Support

  • In case of emergencies (medical, legal, or security), travellers should immediately contact local authorities (police, hospitals, embassies).
  • Iraq Planner customer service can assist with contacting providers or rescheduling bookings, but is not a substitute for emergency response services.

10. Limitation of Liability

  • Iraq Planner is not responsible for accidents, injuries, theft, political unrest, religious disputes, or natural events that may occur before, during, or after travel.
  • Our maximum liability is limited to the total booking fee paid through our website for the specific service in question.

11. Updates

This Safety Information Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in operations, local laws, or regional safety guidance.
