点评:I was a little nervous about travelling to Iraq and Kurdistan as a solo female traveller, so I decided to explore the region with a guide. Looking back, I couldn’t have made a better decision, because that’s how I met Ako! I shared the places I wanted to visit with him, and he put together a great itinerary. He even suggested adding an extra day to explore more of Kurdistan, and I’m so glad I took his advice, which allowed me to visit Zakho, Amedi and Duhok as well 😊
Throughout our travels, I always felt safe and at ease. Ako is an excellent driver who knows his country inside out. He found us affordable hotels, traditional tea houses, delicious baklava shops and great restaurants, always keeping in mind that I don’t eat meat. Together, we explored Kurdistan’s gorgeous nature and fascinating sights, while I also learned a lot about its history, culture and language.
What made the experience extra special were all the little moments along the way. Ako helped me take some beautiful photos, got us some tea or water for along the way and we shared a lot of laughs. His kindness, flexibility and honest enthusiasm made me feel welcome and allowed me to experience Kurdistan in the best way possible.
I would wholeheartedly recommend visiting Kurdistan, and if you’re lucky enough to have Ako as your guide, you’re in very good hands! Ako, thank you for showing me your beautiful country. I wish you all the best, many more tourists and baklava 😉 I really hope our paths will cross again one day, inshallah!

在我们的整个旅程中……我始终感到安心且自在。Ako是一位出色的司机,对他所熟悉的这片土地了如指掌。他为我们找到了价格合理的旅馆、传统的茶馆、美味的果仁蜜饼店以及不错的餐厅,还始终记着我不吃肉的饮食习惯。我们一起领略了库尔德斯坦壮丽的自然风光与迷人的名胜,我也借此机会深入了解了那里的历史、文化和语言。
让这段旅程格外难忘的,便是沿途那些温馨的瞬间。Ako帮我拍摄了许多精美的照片,还一路上为我们准备茶水或饮料。我们一同度过了许多欢乐时光。他的善良、随和以及真诚的热情让我倍感亲切,也让我能够以最理想的方式领略库尔德斯坦的风采。
我衷心推荐大家前往库尔德斯坦旅游;倘若有幸由Ako担任向导,那你就放心吧,他会照顾得无微不至!Ako,感谢你带我领略你美丽的祖国。祝你一切顺利!希望能有更多游客来,还有更多人品尝巴克拉瓦😉 我真心希望有一天我们能再次相遇,愿真主成全!
