What travelers say:

The ancient city of Samara is located on the banks of the Tigris River, 125 kilometers north of Baghdad, built in 850 AD, the site is now preserved in the Samara Grand Mosque and the spiral tower, which is called the Marweya Tower, is the minaret of the mosque, 52 meters high, unique shape, Combined with the architectural style of the Assyrian temple tower. There is no protection next to the spiral ramp leading to the tower. The attic on the top of the tower is a circular plane about 5 - 6 meters in diameter. You can go up through small stairs to accommodate several people standing on it, but there are no railings around, and people are concentrated near the center of the circle. If you are a little closer to the edge, you will be scared.
