    Smaquli dam, a new tourism haven in Kurdistan Region. Located 80 kilometers east of Erbil, the Smaquli dam has become a new tourist attraction in the Kurdistan Region that attracts thousands from Iraq and neighboring countries. The dam also has a lake where tourists can have picnics and enjoy barbecues and kebabs. The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has banned swimming in the lake for safety reasons. "I've come from Darsim, and among so many other things, this lake is so nice during sunset," Ayman Asi, a tourist from Turkish Kurdistan, told Kurdistan 24. "We have been enjoying it for the last four hours. We are also thinking of coming back to see a sunrise as it must be beautiful." There are various activities to be enjoyed by the lake and dam, both named after Smaquli village. Tourists can enjoy boat tours and jet skiing on the lake and relax in the surrounding cafes and restaurants. "We have brought our own jet ski," said Azad Fathi, a local tourist from Erbil. "At least once a month, I come here to enjoy jet skiing with my friends. We've come more over the last few days because the rain has revived the lake." The KRG has recently resumed working on a number of dams in the Kurdistan Region, including the Gomaspan Dam, which is only 30 minutes away from the Smaquli dam. Tourism experts suggest that the Smaquli dam can be further developed to realize its great potential. "There is so much space around the dam for investors to build hotels and restaurants," said Gaylan Ibrahim, a local tourism expert in Erbil. "Smaquli dam has so much potential. It could be as attractive as Dukan lake. But it needs better plans and more investment." As much as tourists enjoy the lake, they still have some complaints, particularly about poor infrastructure. "It is beautiful and amazing, but the bridge is so narrow. It can easily cause a huge traffic jam here," said Ali Shakir, a tourist from Baghdad. "During the holidays, it gets too crowded and takes a long time to cross over the bridge. It took us an hour just to move one kilometer. That is not good."

  • 5/5 Ali K. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A very beautiful lake, worth a visit for the wonderful nature. The only problem is that part of the car road leading to it is narrow and makes it difficult to drive at night towards Erbil. (Original) بحيرة جميلة جدا تستحق الزيارة للطبيعة الرائعة المشكلة الوحيدة هو أن جزء من طريق السيارات المؤدي إليها ضيق ويشكل صعوبة السياقة ليلا باتجاه اربيل

    (Translated by Google) wonderful place Also for families and a place to camp . . . . . . I need someone like you to wonder why I'm late coming home. We are alive as long as we are in love. The simple imperfection of you is to me more than the presence of all things perfect in others. I don't like finding someone perfect, but you are the perfect person I've always looked for. Beauty fades after a while and so does charm, but marrying someone like you makes me laugh every day is something I never want to do without. Love is when our soul is one and inhabits two bodies. The best thing to hold on to in life is to stay with each other. I'm always in love because I don't want to sleep; Because my life while I am in this state is more beautiful than reality. Love heals people and having you by my side keeps me from getting sick. The most important thing in life is that we have learned how to give love, and let it enter our heart without limits. Love is completely meaningless, but it is the best thing to do, and if we leave it, our lives will have no meaning. I have enough courage to say that our love was great, and I can live it every day without getting bored. Only your love could keep me alive. A successful marriage requires falling in love many times with the same person. Love is a life that every couple should live and both of them should win. To obtain the full joy, you must be with me, so that I may share the happiness with you. Love doesn't mean always staring at each other, but it does mean looking out together in the same direction. (Original) مكان جميل جداً للعوائل ايضاً ومكان للتخيّم . . . . . . أنا بحاجة لشخص مثلك يتساءل عن سبب تأخري عن العودة للمنزل. نحن على قيد الحياة طالما أننا في حالة حب. النقص البسيط فيك هو بالنسبة لي أكثر من وجود كل الأشياء المثالية عند الآخرين. لا أحب العثور على أحد مثاليّ، لكنّك بالفعل الشخص المثالي الذي بحثت عنه دائمًا. يتلاشى الجمال بعد فترة وكذلك تتلاشى الجاذبية، لكن الزواج بشخص مثلك يجعلني أضحك كل يوم، فهذا شيء لا أريد الاستغناء عنه أبدًا. الحب هو أن تكون روحنا واحدة وتسكن جسدين. أفضل شيء يجب أن نتمسك به في الحياة هو البقاء مع بعضنا البعض. أنا دائمًا في حالة حب لأنّي لا أريد أن أنام؛ لأن حياتي وأنا على هذه الحال أجمل من الواقع. يشفي الحب الناس ووجودك بجانبي يمنعني من المرض. أهم شيء في الحياة هو أننا تعلمنا كيفية إعطاء الحب، والسماح له بالدخول إلى قلبنا من دون حدود. الحب لا معنى له تمامًا، لكنه أفضل شيء نفعله، وإذا تركناه فلن يكون لحياتنا أي معنى. أمتلك ما يكفي من الشجاعة لأقول بأن حبنا كان عظيمًا، ويمكنني أن أعيشه يوميًّا من دون ملل. حبك وحده استطاع إبقائي على قيد الحياة. الزواج الناجح يحتاج الوقوع في الحب مرات عديدة مع نفس الشخص. الحب حياة يجب أن يعيشها كل زوجين ويجب أن يفوز كلاهما. للحصول على الفرحة الكاملة، يجب أن تكون معي لأقتسم معك السعادة. الحب لا يعني أن نحدّق في بعضنا البعض دائمًا، لكنّه يعني النظر إلى الخارج معًا في نفس الاتجاه.
