Video: from Kirkuk to Korek, traveling through challenges to discover captivating landscapes

SORAN, January 14– Meet a citizen from Kirkuk telling its story about the Korek mountain in Soran:

Having come from Kirkuk, Korek proved to be a truly enjoyable destination. Despite encountering challenges during our travel due to heavy rain, witnessing the captivating landscape made us forget all the troubles. This is my first trip to a snowy mountain, and it’s superb. At a local café, we indulged in drinks, took photos, and recorded videos with my friends. I highly recommend the experience of seeing the beauty of this snowy mountain—it exceeds all expectations. The atmosphere in Kirkuk differs from Korek; in Kirkuk, snow is a rarity. The snow-covered panorama in Kurdistan are more compelling.
