    Beautiful well maintained park... It is very refreshing to go there in a hot Summer evening or a clear Spring day. I wish there was more seating arrangement to have picnic etc.

    From Wikipedia: The Mudhafaria Minaret is a minaret located in the new Minare Park on the west region of Erbil, Kurdistan Region, Iraq. The minaret is 36 m (118 ft) high, was built in 1190–1232 AD (586–630 AH) by the Turcoman prince of Erbil, in the reign of Saladin, Muzaffar Al-Din Abu Sa’eed Al-Kawkaboori (Gökböri) who had entered in the obedience of Saladin without war and married his sister.[1] The minaret is composed of a high octagonal base and a tall cylindrical shaft, with a balcony located between the base and the shaft. It is built of baked bricks, the base being decorated with two tiers of niches with pointed arches, two on each of the eight faces that are inscribed in rectangular frames. The balcony parapet is carved with twenty-four small niches, the access door to the minaret steps is on the eastern side of the octagonal base and leads top to the balcony. From there a small door gives access to steps inside the cylindrical shaft that led to the second balcony now collapsed. The shaft tapers inward and is decorated with several bands of interlocking diagonal Hazar-Baf motifs that are separated with thin bands. Examples of Kufi calligraphy can be seen, showing the names of Muhammad and Mas'oudi Muhammadi, the builders of the Minaret.

    This is a great park and also close to Shanidar Park, which is another must-stop. The Minaret Park is easy to get to and recognize. As you drive south, look to your right for an elevated slope and drive up to meet the stone archway with a bird on it. Park here and waltz your way in. You'll be greeted with what looks like a Roman forum sort of look. On the right, you can see a miniature replica of the Eiffel Tower. Following this path, you can also see a miniature replica of the Citadel (very cool!) and the Mudhafaria Minarett that's in the park. Keep heading north-west and you'll see a gigantic orange balloon thing (sponsored by Korek, which I think is a cell phone carrier), and past that is a path with statue busts that lead to another large statue and the Mudhafaria Minarett, which is the last piece of a mosque that used to be in the area. (It's behind a locked fence, but it's still a nifty piece of history to see, and you might as well if you're here.) Definitely a great place to spend some time. There's even a playground for kids!

    It has such a great calmness and well done garden jobs. But in my opinion it needs more services to be done there.

    (Translated by Google) A quiet and beautiful park in which children games, adult games, water fountains and terraces are allowed, and food, soft drinks, or tea are allowed, and joints or nuts are not allowed.

    Minara Park in Erbil is a serene haven where nature meets cultural charm. The lush surroundings and well-designed pathways create a tranquil escape, perfect for a leisurely stroll or quiet relaxation. The minaret's intricate design adds cultural richness, enhancing the park's aesthetics. Cleanliness and friendly staff contribute to a positive atmosphere. While the park offers a delightful experience, a minor boost in recreational amenities could elevate it even further. Overall, Minara Park is a picturesque retreat, earning its 4-star rating for its soothing ambiance and cultural allure, making it a must-visit spot in Erbil.

    English Manarah Park is one of the most beautiful recreation grounds in the region. It is located opposite Shanader Park and is named Manarah because of the Choli Minaret inside it.

    Great park , there is cirlce at the enterance of the park, where there is pigeons you could feed them. There is a miniture erbil citadel and erbil minaret , miniture Eiffile tower. Toward the minaret there is a shop who sells refreshemnt drinks and some food but it is little overpriced , you can buy water and cola and juices at the gate if the park cheaper. You can ride cable car to pass over the shanader park. There was a ballon as well،but i dont think they operate it anymore ... It is worth visiting ...recommended

    If you're looking for a beautiful and relaxing place to spend an afternoon in Erbil, Minarah Park is an absolute must-visit destination. This stunning park is a true oasis in the heart of the city, offering a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. One of the highlights of Minarah Park is the iconic Minaret Tower, which stands tall and proud at the center of the park. The tower is a beautiful piece of architecture that offers breathtaking views of the surrounding area, making it a perfect spot to take photos and soak in the scenery. But the beauty of Minarah Park goes far beyond the tower. The park itself is beautifully landscaped, with lush greenery, colorful flowers, and tranquil water features that make it a true paradise for nature lovers. The walking paths are well-maintained and offer plenty of opportunities to explore and discover new corners of the park. Another great feature of Minarah Park is the abundance of seating areas, which offer a comfortable spot to rest and relax after a stroll through the park. Whether you're looking for a quiet corner to read a book or a lively area to enjoy a picnic with friends and family, there's a spot for everyone in Minarah Park. Overall, I would highly recommend a visit to Minarah Park to anyone visiting Erbil. It's a true gem of the city and a perfect spot to unwind, recharge, and connect with nature.
