Tips for
staying in Erbil
If you have
a choice when to visit Erbil on business, spring or autumn are the best times
to travel. The weather
varies throughout the year and whilst the summers are hot, the winter sees
surprisingly cold temperatures. We recommend researching this when you have
finalised the time during the year that you will be travelling so appropriate
clothes can be packed for your trip. Surprisingly, the city also boasts some of
the best nightlife
in the Middle East which is often comparable to Beirut.
For a drink with a colleague or client after work, you will be able to find
many bars that will accommodate you. Although some speak English, a bit of
prior research will be necessary to overcome the language barrier you may face.
If you want to impress whilst away, Kurdish
is the main language spoken, so brushing up on a few phrases
wouldn’t go amiss.
Transport
in Erbil
The easiest
and most comfortable form of transport for tourists is taxi,
with trips by car being favorable to many. Buses
are also an option, however, aren’t used as widely. For some areas, such as New Hawler,
they can be the preferable mode of transport for those looking to not break the
bank with taxi rides. Erbil has its own airport which is one of the
two key airports within Iraqi Kurdistan, so is an ideal location for
international travellers.
