Mount Korek — Local services in Rawanduz Central Subdistrict

Beautiful mountain in Kurdistan. Despite the fact that Erbil offers all the modern luxuries of a big metropolis, you’d better not spend the whole of your time in the large number of shopping malls and fashion stores in the city. Your Erbil travel itinerary won’t be complete without visiting the Erbil Mountains and the beautiful countryside around the city. If you go in the summer, visit Shaqlawa – the renowned resort at the foot of the Safeen Mountain about 50 kilometers from the center of Erbil, but if you go in wintertime, visit the ski resort on Korek Mountain. It is about 85 kilometers from the city centre at an altitude of 2000 meters and it is the only fully equipped luxury ski resort in Iraq.

A visit to the beautiful Shaqlawa in the summertime and the Ski Resort on Korek Mountain are a must. A must visit mountain. Checkout the...
