The street was named after the 10th-century classical Iraqi poet al‑Mutanabbi and has been referred to as the heart and soul of the Baghdad literacy, and intellectual community.[2][3]

Al-Mutanabbi Street is considered the most famous street in all of Iraq due to its ancient history and community. The Street is crowded from the early hours of the morning until late at night with visitors including poets, writers, artists and students as well as tourists from all over the world.[4]
