What the creator captured
Mark Wiens Abroad was deeply impressed by the resilience of Mosul and the friendliness of its people despite the city's history of conflict. He was particularly surprised by the unique, creamy texture of fried carp eggs at the fish market, which he described as tasting almost like cream cheese. He concluded that the combination of ancient history and vibrant local food makes the city a must-visit destination.
