Touring Dohuk Iraqi Kurdistan

Par
By Jonny Blair


The town of Dohuk can also be spelt Duhok and it sits in the northern part of Iraqi Kurdistan. Realistically its part of Kurdistan, politically it's in Iraq. This is a really up and coming city to travel and go backpacking in and its worth seeing.

My top 5 things to do in Dohuk

1. The Promenade at The Corniche

This cool corniche runs the length of the city and is a great spot to walk nonchalantly along. It makes a great place to relax and chill away from the city vibe that takes place up above. There are some statues in Dohuk Corniche.

2. Dohuk Dam and Valley

The visit outside the city to the valley and dam is amazing. Dohuk dam has been built in some truly epic countryside. You can walk at your leisure all around this area. The valleys are in beautiful countryside.

The views are simply stunning and really worth it.

3. Waterfalls at Dohuk

Dohuk has a few false waterfalls which have been added to the walk away from the city round to Dohuk dam. These are nice to look at and add to the effects of the city but ultimately they are fake!

4. The Bazaar in Dohuk

It seems that every city or town of any decent size in Iran, Iraq and Turkey has a bazaar. Dohuk's is colourful and has all the usual stuff - fruit and veg stalls, drinks, clothes, nik baks, electronics etc.

5. Dohuk Art Gallery

Dohuk has an art gallery in the town centre. This makes a perfect place to check out some Iraqi and Kurdish art and walk all around it admiring the quite breathtaking art on display.

So you'll not be short of things to do in Dohuk. There are also a load of cool restaurants including Omara Restaurant Dohuk and many in and around the bazaar. Smoking shish is a common pastime too on the streets - but its 100% guys doing it - as a foreigner you'd probably be the only girl there smoking.

What Tourists Usually Fail To Do When Selecting A Lodging Areas

Par
By Mattie Knight Its only natural to feel hyped with the idea of going to a vacation and enjoying the feel of a unique culture. This is even more amplified in the case of those who dont get it often. Typical workers at present are so intent on working hard that they barely get the chance to give themselves enough time to relax. Traveling is among the most awaited events in their calendar. Weve heard so much about the importance of preparing, yet many people still seemed to be oblivious to its need and choose instead to do all the looking once they arrive at their destination. An example of the basics would be the Lincoln city lodging which you may want to reserve in advance if you wish to have no hassles in finding lodges once you reach the place.
