Mosul Journey Describes Jonah Tomb and City Life
Frederick Sisupich sketches Mosul and the tomb of Jonah, detailing the dusty medieval city, crowded streets, caravanserais, river scenes with washerwomen, Kurdish workers, and the bustling waterfront with bazaars, coffee shops, and dances. He notes the unique Mosul bridge to Nineveh and recalls local reverence for Yunus while contrasting Arab and Kurd life.
