About Erbil
Erbil, also called Hawler or Hewlêr, is the capital of Iraq’s Kurdistan Region and is built around the Citadel mound with Qaysari Bazaar below it. You can use it as a practical option for Kurdish culture, food, markets, and day trips towards Shaqlawa, Rawanduz, or the Hamilton Road, but you should check current government travel advice before booking because Iraq’s security situation can change quickly.
