About this place

The dam sits in the gap north of Duhok, five minutes from the centre, and the lake behind it is where the city goes for an afternoon. There is a road along the water, grass for mats, and cafés at the near end. Spring is greenest; swimming in the reservoir is not allowed.

Visiting times

Open all day, free. The shore fills up on Friday afternoon.

Times can change on holidays and in bad weather. Ask us in the direct chat if you need the current hours.
