The main tourism sites found in Duhok city are
Gali dam, Dream city, Duhok Zoo, Zawa mountain,
Azadi park, Barzani park, Bablo resort, Mazi
complex, and Zari park. The number of proper
sites in comparison to the number of citizens is
low. There is also no proper maintenance for the
already existing sites in the city.
We are really grateful because we managed to
