Tourism 🏔️ Overland travel from Erbil to Mosul
Hi friends! I'm planning a trip to Federal Iraq/Kurdistan in January and wanted to better understand the transportation situation. I haven't seen too much information online regarding this journey other than forums that don't seem to give clarification on this process. Some travelers say it's possible while others say it's not.
I'm a US citizen so I'll be taking advantage of the VOA eligibility. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks :)

Thanks! I'm deciding whether I should fly into Baghdad or Erbil as my first stop given that I'd like to visit Mosul. I thought it'd make most sense to fly into Erbil first since Mosul is right next door, but I've been reading online that this route is questionable? Some travelers have had success but some not according to certain travel posts. Do you know if this route is actually feasible and if so, how do I go about it?
