Erbil

Erbil has a mix of history and culture, but it also has some challenges. Many visitors enjoy the old feel of the Citadel, which is one of the oldest places still lived in. The local food is good, with tasty dishes that you will want to eat again. However, if you choose to walk around, be careful: the streets can be a bit difficult. Honking cars and attention from others can make walking less enjoyable, so it’s often better to use a taxi or rideshare. The cost of living here is usually lower than in many Western cities, which is good for both locals and travelers. Public transportation can be limited, but private options are easy to find. Safety is generally good, but it’s wise to be aware of what is happening around you. You can explore neighborhoods like Ankawa, which has cafes and shops, but always pay attention to local customs. Knowing a little of the local language can help you connect with people. With its mix of challenges and good things, Erbil is worth a visit!
