Al-Mutanabbi Street in Baghdad is a historic center for bookselling, named after the famous 10th-century poet Abul Tayeb al-Mutanabbi.
This street has been a cultural hub since the Abbasid era, serving as a refuge for writers and intellectuals. Despite past turmoil, it remains a symbol of Baghdad's rich literary heritage.
The community's trust in the power of knowledge is reflected in the tradition of leaving books out overnight, highlighting a deep respect for literature.
