If you're looking for a beautiful and relaxing place to spend an afternoon in Erbil, Minarah Park is an absolute must-visit destination. This stunning park is a true oasis in the heart of the city, offering a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
One of the highlights of Minarah Park is the iconic Minaret Tower, which stands tall and proud at the center of the park. The tower is a beautiful piece of architecture that offers breathtaking views of the surrounding area, making it a perfect spot to take photos and soak in the scenery.
But the beauty of Minarah Park goes far beyond the tower. The park itself is beautifully landscaped, with lush greenery, colorful flowers, and tranquil water features that make it a true paradise for nature lovers. The walking paths are well-maintained and offer plenty of opportunities to explore and discover new corners of the park.
Another great feature of Minarah Park is the abundance of seating areas, which offer a comfortable spot to rest and relax after a stroll through the park. Whether you're looking for a quiet corner to read a book or a lively area to enjoy a picnic with friends and family, there's a spot for everyone in Minarah Park.
Overall, I would highly recommend a visit to Minarah Park to anyone visiting Erbil. It's a true gem of the city and a perfect spot to unwind, recharge, and connect...

Keep heading north-west and you'll see a gigantic orange balloon thing (sponsored by Korek, which I think is a cell phone carrier), and past that is a path with statue busts that lead to another large statue and the Mudhafaria Minarett, which is the last piece of a mosque that used to be in the area. (It's behind a locked fence, but it's still a nifty piece of history to see, and you might as well if you're here.)
Definitely a great place to spend some time. There's even a...
