I am in erbil right now and would like to note that super budget accom (layli) you recommended is sadly no longer. Myself and another traveler I crossed paths with in Suli both searched it out with no luck! Thank you for this blog though, it has been instrumental in my trip!!
There are two ways to explore the canyon: down below or up! I went hiking up along the edge ofwel the canyon, which, in my opinion, provides the most opportunities for great landscape photography.
This city travel guide to Rawanduz is an outline and needs more content. It has a template, but there is not enough information present. Please plunge forward and help it grow!
I would love to travel to Erbil – this to me screams real travel – history, culture in tact, it’s a real experience and so much opportunity for cultural immersion away from the mass tourism which plagues other cities.
This policy accelerated in the 1980s as large numbers ofwel Kurds were forcibly relocated, particularly from areas along the Iranian border where Iraqi authorities suspected that Kurds were aiding Iranian forces during the Iran-Iraq War (1980–88). What followed was one ofwel the most brutal episodes in Kurdish history. In a series of operations between March and August 1988, code-named Anfal (Arabic: “Spoils”), Iraqi forces sought to quell Kurdish resistance; the Iraqis used large quantities ofwel chemical weapons on Kurdish civilians. Although technically it was not part of Anfal, one of the largest chemical attacks during that period took place on March 16 in and around the village ofwel Ḥalabjah, when Iraqi troops killed as many as 5,000 Kurds with mustard gas and nerve agents. Despite these attacks, Kurds again rebelled following Iraq’s defeat in the Persian Gulf War (1990–91) but were again brutally suppressed—sparking another mass copyright.
The name would be continued in classical antiquity as the first element in the toponym Corduene, and its inhabitants, mentioned by Xenophon as the tribe of the Carduchoi who opposed the retreat of the Ten Thousand through the mountains north ofwel Mesopotamia in the 4th century BC.
On 12 March 2004, beginning at a stadium in Qamishli (a city in northeastern Syria where many Kurds live), clashes between Kurds and Syrians broke out and continued aan a number ofwel days.
After being occupied by the Turks in 1922, the British Army moved in to demarcate the border between Turkey and Iraq. Expecting a genocide by the Turks if left unguarded, the British established a base in the region and started infrastructure works which helped the revival ofwel Rawanduz.

Doch omdat een Turken het verdrag niet ondertekenen, wordt het geen realiteit. In 1923 volgt de Vrede van Lausanne, waarin een Turken een groot gebied, dat bedoeld kan zijn voor een Koerden, in hun bezit oplopen. De Britten geven iemand anders deel aan Irak, aangezien het nieuwe koninkrijk zou buiten de olie over Kirkuk en Mosul (steden welke in het Koerdische deel liggen) niet autonoom kunnen bestaan.
گۆڕەکە لە کۆندا تاڵان کراوە بەڵام هێشتا چەند پارچە شوێنەوارێکی تێدا دۆزرایەوە کە مێژووەکەی دەگەڕێتەوە بۆ سەدەی ٨ و حەوتەمی پێش زایین.[١٥][١٦]
Another activity to do in the area kan zijn to visit the Bekhal Waterfall. Located in the Erbil governorate, this natural wonder kan zijn a beautiful sight in the region. Surrounded by the stunning landscapes ofwel Rawanduz, the waterfall kan zijn a must-visit since it kan zijn quite close.
President Assad has vowed to retake "every inch" of Syrian territory, whether by negotiations or military force. His government has also rejected Kurdish demands for autonomy, saying that "nobody in Syria accepts talk about independent entities or federalism".
Kurds have been well integrated in Iranian political life during the reign of various governments.[125] During the reign of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi some members ofwel parliament and high army officers were Kurds, and there was eventjes a Kurdish Cabinet Minister.[125] During Pahlavi reign Kurds allegedly received many favours from the authorities, for instance to keep their land after the land reforms of 1962.[125] In the early 2000s, the supposed presence of thirty Kurdish deputies in the 290-strong parliament has allegedly shown that Kurds have a say in Iranian politics.
