Or Gelî Elî Beg, is hailed as the highest waterfall in the Middle East, Gali Ali Bag, a dusty but beautiful three-hour drive from Erbil, is a mountain resort located on the intersection of two mountain ranges – the Korek chain in the north and the Bradost chain in the west – and two rivers, the Rawandoz Sidakan and the Khalifan. The breathtaking scenery around the waterfalls has long since assured the site’s popularity as a picnic spot, and the resort today - complete with a waterside souk and its host of terrace cafes and eateries - offers a warm, authentic welcome. During the long summer months, tourists can be found at these popular waterfalls - famous for their outstanding natural beauty. The dramatic mountain scenery in the second half of the three-hour drive makes the excursion well worth the effort and one of Erbil Lifestyle’s favorite day trip destinations.. |

When I was there last summer there were a lot of people, all arabs. And they played very loud arabic music. No, it wasn't a pleasant experience at all. |
