Unforgettable
Adventures
with
Iraqi
Kurdistan
Guide
My
wife
and
I
recently
had
the
pleasure
of
embarking
on
three
amazing
full-day
trips
in
Kurdistan,
and
I
can't
wait
to
share
our
experience
with
you.
We
opted
for
the
renowned
company
"Iraqi
Kurdistan
Guide",
operated
by
the
experienced
Haval
and
his
knowledgeable
and
hospitable
brother
Govand.
We
were
extremely
impressed
with
their
professionalism,
warmth,
and
dedication
to
making
our
journey
unforgettable.
If
you
are
considering
a
visit
to
Kurdistan,
we
highly
recommend
booking
your
excursions
with
these
wonderful
brothers.
Our
first
day
was
spent
exploring
the
vibrant
city
of
Erbil.
With
Govand
as
our
friendly
and
competent
guide,
we
were
able
to
immerse
ourselves
in
the
rich
history,
culture,
and
architecture
of
this
ancient
city.
The
Citadel,
at
the
heart
of
Erbil,
left
us
in
awe
with
its
historic
significance
and
breathtaking
views.
We
strolled
through
the
bustling
bazaar,
where
we
marveled
at
the
array
of
spices,
textiles,
and
handicrafts
on
display.
We
also
had
the
chance
to
try
some
mouthwatering
local
cuisine,
including
kebabs
and
baklava,
at
one
of
the
many
traditional
teahouses.
Govand's
passion
for
his
homeland
was
infectious
and
his
deep
knowledge
of
Erbil's
history
and
culture
made
our
visit
truly
memorable.
Our
second
day
took
us
on
a
thrilling
road
trip
to
the
Iranian
border.
The
stunning
landscape
along
the
way
was
a
sight
to
behold,
with
rolling
hills,
lush
valleys,
and
snow-capped
peaks.
Govand
took
us
to
a
hidden
gem,
a
serene
village
tucked
away
in
the
mountains.
We
gained
valuable
insights
into
the
everyday
lives
of
the
people
in
this
remote
region.
The
border
itself
was
a
fascinating
experience.
Throughout
the
day,
we
felt
incredibly
safe
and
well
cared
for.
Our
final
day's
adventure
took
us
along
the
historic
Hamilton
Road
to
the
picturesque
city
of
Rawanduz.
The
drive
itself
was
an
experience
like
no
other,
with
its
hairpin
bends
and
awe-inspiring
views
of
the
Great
Zab
River
and
the
majestic
mountains.
Govand
regaled
us
with
stories
of
the
road's
history
and
its
strategic
importance
during
World
War
II.
Upon
reaching
Rawanduz,
we
were
enchanted
by
the
city's
charm
and
natural
beauty,
from
the
impressive
canyon
to
the
quaint
stone
houses
nestled
into
the
mountainside.
Throughout
our
journey,
Govand
proved
to
be
an
outstanding
guide.
He
was
attentive
to
our
needs
and
wishes,
ensuring
that
we
had
the
best
possible
experience.
His
wealth
of
knowledge
and
insider
information
truly
elevated
our
trip,
providing
us
with
a
deeper
understanding
of
Kurdistan's
history,
culture,
and
natural
beauty.
We
always
felt
safe
and
well
looked
after,
and
Govand's
genuine
warmth
and
hospitality
made
us
feel
like
family.
The
price
for
our
three
excursions
was
incredibly
reasonable,
especially
considering
the
value
we
received.
The
memories
we
made,
the
friendships
we
forged,
and
the
experiences
we
shared
are
truly
priceless.
We
are
already
planning
our
return
trip
to
Kurdistan
and
will
undoubtedly
book
our
adventures
with
"Iraqi
Kurdistan
Guide"
again.
If
you're
considering
a
trip
to
this
breathtaking
region,
look
no
further
than
Haval
and
Govand
for
an
experience
you
will
cherish
for
a
lifetime.
