The city is rich in historical monuments such as the Abbasid Palace and the University of Mustansiriya, as well as modern landmarks such as the Martyrs' Monument. Despite years of conflict, Baghdad is gradually rebuilding with an economy dominated by oil, trade and services. The population is about 8 million and the climate is hot desert type with hot and dry summers. The city is the political, economic and transportation hub of Iraq, connecting it to important routes in the Middle East.
