Antiques in the hotel and seagull above the historical river of Tigris

Hello, This is Yasser Alaa from Iraq-Baghdad, I'm a multi-talented-passions person.
I have a fetish for a wide variety of things, one of the things I literally think I lust them is Antiques, so I heard there are nice classic cars at the fancy hotel of Rotana Babylon in Baghdad.
So I left My house and headed to the hotel and I'm about to show you what I've found

This is MGA 1955 is a rare vintage car that was one the speediest cars that have been produced by MG enthusiasts over clamored for more modern and faster to keep pace with the new Triumph TR-2.
The MGA replaced the MG TF 1500 Midget and represented a complete styling break from MG's earlier cars.
announced on September 26th, 1955.
The car was officially launched at the Frankfurt Motor show.

I personally think this one belongs to one of the young princes of the Iraqi ruling family.

as I mentioned above, I have a fetish for a variety of things.
But right now I live for buying PA700 Korg ( a musical instrument ), I was so so so happy when I found this masterpiece.
It was made in 1862 by "John Brinsmead & Sons" in England and was one of the greatest achievements of Breinsmead company creation.

This was part of Special Design manufactured by this company and it has 1 over 100 worldwide only.

This own architect's external design has been made from walnut wood reflecting the powerful appearance crowned by an external handmade carving giving it that magnificent look from the outside.

the keyboards are made of elephant tusks giving this masterpiece the distinctive ivory color in combination with walnut brown wood making it distinctive and rare.

I couldn't go anywhere near this fancy car because there was some VIP near it so it was no photo area, But I promise you if you liked this tour I go back and take my time filming every car of the 3 I saw.

the last one was a 1950 Ford and the color was full pink, unfortunately, I couldn't take a shot at it.

this selfie was my last photo at the hotel, then I left.

about a hundred matter northwest of the hotel, I saw one of the earliest towers being built in Baghdad.

This tower will be at the Central Bank of Iraq when the contractor delivers.
it was designed by the most famous female Iraqi architect 'Zuha Hadid ".
Zuha Hadid did some amazing worldwide designs like the BMW building in Germany.

then on my way home, I stopped on Al-jadryah Bridg and did this ...

an old hobby for me, most of the people of Baghdad actually share this hobby, that we stand on one of the 13 bridges connect the 2 sides of the city across the Tigris and feed the Seagulls, I will leave you with a few nice shots for this landscape.

You are welcome @yasseralaa! It is great to see you are doing your first steps! Great work!

It has been a while since I have been to that bridge. I like the shots of the seagul.

that's indefensible since it's a 10 minutes walk away of your apartment.
