Dohuk is also spelt Duhok and it's a cool town in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. It's a place that is really worth checking out when you backpack through this region. It's turning into a nice place to travel in so here's an overview on top 5 things to see and do in the city.
Here are the best 5 things to see and do in Dohuk
1. Promenade Walk: The Corniche
Dohuk has a fantastic corniche which is basically a promenade which runs the length of the city. Take a leafy and leisurely stroll through Dohuk's promenade and you will love this beautiful town.
2. Dohuk Valley and Dam
This might just be your highlight from Dohuk. Walk out of town and you will see a massive dam which has been built against completely immaculate and scenic countryside. The walk takes you up a hill past a proud Kurdistan flag and then there it is - the Dohuk Dam.
You will love the amazing views from the Dohuk valley.
3. Dohuk Waterfalls
Dohuk has a few false waterfalls which have been added to the walk away from the city round to Dohuk dam. These are nice to look at and add to the effects of the city but ultimately they are fake!
4. The Bazaar in Dohuk
Every town or city in this region seems to have a market, known normally as a Bazaar. Dohuk of course also has one which is very big and has lots of nooks and crannies to it. Really worth a look around to do shopping in.
5. Art Gallery in Dohuk
Dohuk has an art gallery in the town centre. This makes a perfect place to check out some Iraqi and Kurdish art and walk all around it admiring the quite breathtaking art on display.
So all in all Dohuk is a marvellous town to go backpacking in. It's clear that there is a lot to see and do in this charming Kurdish town in the northern part of Iraq. Safe travels.
