a very impressive natural waterfalls. Water seems to come from the middle of the mountain. There are lots of cafe and restaurants. One of the famouse waterfalls accross Kurdistan and Iraq, It has a breathtaking view. its a great place to visit during summer time and get rid of hot weather in Erbil city center. By the way, you have to walk through the water barefoot to reach a place for seating.

Ali Begg Valley . Situated about 95 kilometers from Erbil off the road to Soran, this valley dips between the Korek and Bradost mountains. It is 12 kilometers long with many beautiful sites, such as springs and waterfalls. The famous Gali Ali Begg Waterfall is located in this valley which is a popular site for tourists from all around the country to visit. There is also several restaurants and cafes in the valley, built to accommodate visitors.

Very beautiful and calm i enjoyed the waterfall ❤️ during weekends and holidays its crowded

Hailed as the highest waterfall in the Middle East, Gali Ali Bag, a dusty but beautiful three-hour drive from Erbil, is a mountain resort located on the intersection of two mountain ranges – the Korek chain in the north and the Bradost chain in the west – and two rivers, the Rawandoz Sidakan and the Khalifan. The breathtaking scenery around the waterfalls has long since assured the site’s popularity as a picnic spot, and the resort today – complete with a waterside souk and its host of terrace cafes and eateries – offers a warm, authentic welcome. During the long summer months, tourists from all over Iraq can be found in these popular waterfalls – famous for their outstanding natural beauty. The dramatic mountain scenery in the second half of the three-hour drive makes the excursion well worth the effort and one of Erbil Lifestyle’s favorite day trip destinations..

Very nice place and very iconic as well as it’s shown in the 5,000 Iraqi Dinar banknote, the place is beautiful and the cool air from the waterfall is very refreshing, i highly recommend visiting the place.

Eine der Top und berühmtesten Sehenswürdigkeiten Irak. Es ist so berühmt, dass es auf die irakischen Währung gedruckt wurde. Früher auf dem 5 Dinar schein , heute auf den 5000 Dinar Schein. Das Geräusch des plätschert das Wasser ist schon Wert, Ganz geschweige der Atemberaubende Natur rund herum.

Bring slippers or sandles with you. If you forget they sell them at the entrance. There are restaurants and a couple of shops where you get to walk in water and enjoy the waterfall.

Beautiful falls. Easy to get to; probably fit for summer and other seasons except winter, it was pretty cold in January. The water is pretty fast during the winter season. Beautiful for pictures. There are bathrooms, Restaurants and prayer rooms but nothing was open due to the winter season. Entertaining is for 1,000 IQD about $0.7 USD

Very beautiful.. only 1 K IQD for entering ... Mesmerizing view .. relaxing ... The location is also good which is nearby shaqlawa and not so far away like near borders or something... Easy to reach ... Safe place for kids ... Clean bathrooms

Amazing view I like it so much but I have one comment which is when I was there at the beginning of the year of 2020 it was not clean and the restaurants around the waterfall are closed.

This place with its mountainous nature and various trees, has become a tourist destination that many people visit in the summer, especially in the central and southern regions of Iraq.

A wondeful place that worth to visit with family especially during summer time. I would prefer a non holiday days since it will not be crowded.

That is easily the most fun spot on the way between the Kurdish capital of Erbil and the city lfRawanduz. Super fun, lots of families and extra fresh for a very fair price. The option of restaurant around makes it a must to rest, eat, refresh and have fun! I was traveling around and didn't know what to expect, was a great glimpse at Kurdish life!

Wonderful place. Nice for à stop 20 min. Beautiful.

Nice waterfall, we have spent wonderful time over there, it is relatively far away from center of Erbil, also the roads are somehow difficult to drive, but we made it, it worth the efforts, there are many restaurants with good food and other food stuff like ice-cream, the nature was amazing and charming, it was great experience overall, I recommend visiting 😀

There are bathrooms, restaurants and prayers room available. available. You must pay 1000 IQD to enter.

Nice place and good for families

The area so beautiful and I recommend everyone to visit

Good for a short stay. Not very clean. Needs maintainance and they have to make it bigger and more organised. The water level has dropped so they made an artificial water supply.

Very fresh, relaxing area. Especially my children love the place so much. Only the problem is it is little far from Erbil. The road takes nearly 90 minutes. But it worths

Mashalah it’s very beautiful if your in Kurdistan you must visit this place.

Beautiful scenery. It's so famous, it's on the back of one of the Iraqi banknotes

This is one of the national treasures of the region. If you are visiting the area, you might want to spend some time here. The scenery is beautiful and the weather is nice. It is friendly to families and children. This waterfall is featured on 5K Iraqi currency. The administration fee is about 1000 Iraqi dinner per person.

Gali Ali Baik is a best place to have a nice views with fresh air and the cold water is between legs everywhere.. Although it is very crowdy so each one should take care especially during COVID-19 pandemic.. I really recommend everyone to visit.

This Waterfall is the most Waterfall in Kurdistan region of Iraq. Its very beautiful and natural. Many tourists are visiting it throughout the year.

Very nice waterfalls to enjoy the view and take photos for only 1000 IQD entrance per person.

Amazing natural place to visit.

its a very beautiful place. but its a bit expensive.

How can yo you do such a thing to beautiful nature :) I get it’s a different culture but this waterfall is amazing why do you need a pool with inflatable boats next to it? Entrance costs 1000 IQD

Nice place i really recommend this place for fresh husband and wife and families 👪

The waterfall is amzing the cold water the mountains surrounding it is all just gorgeous it is a must go place when visiting erbil

The place and the waterfall itself is beautiful but there's no suitable accommodation to stay as most of the visitors coming from long distances and are interesting in spending nights there.
