Mosul is a city in northern Iraq, about 250 miles northwest of Baghdad, standing on the banks of the Tigris river. With its dry summers and cool, rainy winters, the city receives more moisture than most of the rest of Iraq. The third largest in Iraq, the city has been continuously occupied for over 2000 years.
