Iraqi Kurdistan Travel Vlog | Exploring Kurdish | Yazidi Lalish Temple tour | Railwaystories #005

Located in the north of Iraq, nestled between Iran and Turkey, Iraqi Kurdistan is home to some of the most breathtaking landscape in the Middle East, composed of green mountains with snow-capped peaks that, definitely, will break with all the stereotypes you have about Iraq. Kurdistan is the ultimate destination for travelers looking for something unique, very off the beaten track, and who are willing to meet the Kurds, a very proud and brave nation, who turn out to also be some of the most hospitable people. This is the vlog of my first day of travel in Iraqi Kurdistan after arriving here from Iran by train. In this video we will be exploring a small village named Lalish which is the the Yazidi spiritual heartland. Lalish and its temples are about 4,000 years old. Its main temple was built by ancient Sumerian and other early Mesopotamian civilizations. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Center and the holiest temple for the Yazidis in Iraq. A local guide gave me a complete tour of the  Lalish Temple. From there, I continued my journey towards Erbil, capital of Iraqi Kurdistan.

Thank you for watching!
