About this place
Amedi sits on a mesa with cliffs on every side, which is why it was the seat of the Bahdinan princes for centuries. The old Mosul Gate is cut through the rock on the east side, near carved reliefs, and a single minaret stands over the roofs. Walk the rim path at sunset; the drop and the plain below do the rest.
Visiting times
Town streets open all day. The bazaar and tea houses wind down after sunset. No ticket.
