Erbil, the thriving capital of Iraqi Kurdistan, sits on a fertile plain in northern Iraq, roughly 80 km east of Mosul, surrounded by rolling hills and ancient history. At its heart rises the UNESCO-listed Erbil Citadel, a towering 8,000-year-old mound crowned with colorful Ottoman-era houses, while the bustling Qaysari Bazaar below brims with spices, gold, and Kurdish textiles.
