Travel To Iraqi Kurdistan

“The Other Iraq”

Iraqi Kurdistan has always been a beacon of peace in an otherwise tinderbox of a region. The area has it’s own borders and army – the Peshmerga. It’s not just a political success story. With a budding tourism infrastructure, the region has plenty to offer.
