We took a daytrip from Karbala to the site of ancient Babylon. But wait, there's more - Saddam Hussein had a palace handily located overlooking the ruins. It's easy to get to Babylon by yourself on public transport, but getting into the palace is easier said than done. This post is about how to get to Babylon from Karbala, and explore Saddam Hussein's palace while you're at it (...if you're lucky).
