What's On in Erbil
Erbil combines city life with surprisingly easy access to some of the most spectacular outdoor scenery in the Middle East. Within the city, Sami Abdulrahman Park is the largest green space — a sprawling park popular for evening walks, family picnics, and outdoor dining. Ankawa Park and Gulan Street's tree-lined promenade are also lively on warmer evenings. Beyond the city, the Kurdistan mountains are the main draw: the Rawanduz gorge and Hamilton Road are among the most dramatic drives in Iraq, and Bekhal Waterfall (near Ranya) makes for an excellent day trip. Dukan Lake, about two hours from Erbil, is popular for summer weekends. Shaqlawa — a cool mountain resort town — is only 45 minutes away and is perfect as an escape from Erbil's summer heat.
