Nearly 20,000 tourists flocked the Kurdish town of Soran this weekend. It was searing summer heat that brought so many people here.
They escaped the record high temperatures. The gov’t of Kurdistan and Iraq announced official holidays to avoid the heat.
Soran is a mountainous region of Kurdistan. It has cooler temperatures, fresh water and the right scenery.
Many of the tourists who came here from Iraq. A chance to cool off and swim in the cold waters.
Some 400 companies have been licensed by the tourism ministry to bring tourists to Kurdistan.
Soran and its resorts however, have no enough accommodation for the rising number of visitors. The tourists usually stay near the rivers, under the canopies and away from the sun.
