Crazy. Any idea what neighborhood that's in? The Green Zone?
The captions to the original photos didn't say.
According to Google maps it's in Karrada.
Great to see the pics.
Mall envy is a powerful force.

Thanks Muhannad. I google mapped it as well. It's on Arafat Street by the Swiss Embassy and the Planning Ministry.
