A City of Mountains, History, and Kurdish Charm
Our most in-demand trips are from the Erbil tour packages from the USA, the proud capital of the Kurdistan Region in northern Iraq. Erbil is rich with culture, history and hospitable people.
At its heart stands the mighty Erbil Citadel, where time seems to pause and stories from ancient days still echo.
In every corner of Erbil, you’ll feel the mix of old and new. You’ll walk through bustling markets, relax in peaceful parks, and explore streets full of tradition and life. Every trip to Erbil, Iraq, becomes a memory you’ll treasure forever.
Discover the Treasures of Erbil
The Erbil Citadel, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the first stop on many of many vacation packages to Erbil. Standing high above the city, the citadel has watched over Erbil for more than 6,000 years.
Inside, we walk narrow streets, visit museums, and look out over the city skyline.
Right next door, we explore the Erbil Civilization Museum and the Textile Museum, both filled with stories of Mesopotamia and Kurdish life.
We stroll through Sami Abdulrahman Park, where trees, lakes, and birds offer a quiet escape.
The magnificence of the Jalil Khayat Mosque, with its bright blue dome and tall minarets, is another thing we adore. Every stop is a favorite on Wow Trip’s peaceful day trips in Erbil, Iraq.
Experience Erbil Like a Local
You can experience the essence of Erbil with private city tour. Our starting point is the bazaar close to the citadel, where you can shop, snack and chat with kind people.
The air is filled with the smells of the spices and fresh bread, and each alley has something new.
Want adventure? Our destinations will be either the hills near Soran or the Gali Ali Beg Canyon. These places are perfect for hiking, pictures, and fresh air.
In the evening, we enjoy cafés with live Kurdish music, watch dance shows, or join cooking classes. These fun moments are what make our Erbil city food tours so special.
A Taste of Kurdish Hospitality
Eating well is a big part of our favorite holidays in Erbil, Iraq. We visit family-run restaurants serving juicy kebabs, stuffed dolma, and golden perdeh pilaf. These dishes have deep roots in Kurdish history and are full of flavor.
We’ll also try warm nani khubz, a soft bread perfect with stew, olives, or local cheese.
For something sweet, enjoy baklava or knafeh—both are flaky, rich, and loved by locals.
Drink a strong cup of black tea or "dough," a salty yogurt beverage, to cool off. Every bite is part of the journey with our tasty Iraq open vacation packages.
Where the Old Meets the New
In every Iraq vacation package, we make time for shopping in Erbil. We always stop at Qaysari Bazaar, a colorful market near the citadel.
Here, you’ll find handmade rugs, copper pots, spices, oud perfume, and embroidered Kurdish clothes. It’s the perfect place to buy gifts or take home a piece of Kurdish culture.
Want modern shopping? For international products, refreshments, and movie theatres, we go to Majidi Mall and Family Mall.
In Ainkawa, you’ll find handmade crafts, local paintings, and more. These stops are highlights of our best Erbil travel deals.
