Sulaymaniyah

Sulaymaniyah (also known as Slemani) is a vibrant city in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, serving as the capital of the Sulaymaniyah Governorate. Nestled amongst the Azmar, Goizha, and Qaiwan Mountains, it offers a unique blend of urban life and natural beauty. Founded in 1784, the city carries a rich history as the former capital of the Kurdish Baban principality, evident in its cultural identity and architecture.

Expect a semi-arid climate with hot, dry summers and cold, wet winters. Sulaymaniyah is a modern hub with a distinctly Kurdish character, offering a more relaxed pace than some other Iraqi cities. It’s a place where you can experience authentic local life, explore the surrounding landscapes, and connect with a welcoming community.
