Interesting news! I had never heard of the Saudi - Iraq border opening.
As far as I'm concerned, the most dangerous part of Iraq is still on your route, between Baghdad and Kirkuk but it's a busy highway so shoudl be easy to blend in.
Wish I could make this trip with you!
Please keep us up to date,
