Once you reach the area, follow the local road signs that direct you to Baghdad Island Park. Parking is available on-site.

    To reach Baghdad Island Park using public transportation, start by finding a local bus or shared taxi (called 'microbus') that heads toward Baghdad from Muthanna. Ensure you board a vehicle that specifically mentions 'الفحامة' (Al-Fahama) as a stop. The journey may take around 1.5 to 2 hours depending on traffic. Once you arrive in الفحامة, you can either walk or take a local taxi to Baghdad Island Park, which is a short distance away.
