Erbil holds the distinction of being one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on Earth, making it a fascinating place to explore. Nestled in the north of Iraq, Erbil is the largest city in Iraqi Kurdistan, and it spans out concentrically around the central Citadel of Erbil. The citadel is more than 6,000 years old and has stood through the reign of the Sumerians, the Akkadians, the Babylonians and the Assyrians. So, as you stroll around the deserted city that lies within, you will be thoroughly immersed in ancient history. Erbil is also home to many mosques, markets and museums. The Kurdish Textile Museum, Jalil Khayat Mosque and Erbil Gem Museum are well worth a look. You can then satisfy your senses with an exploration of the spices, jewellery, carpets and other delights for sale at the Quayseri Market.
