About this place
The brick minaret in the middle of the park is the oldest standing monument in Erbil, built in the Atabeg period about eight centuries ago, and it leans. Around it the park has fountains, lawns, a mosque and a cable car that crosses the grounds. It is an evening place: families arrive after the heat drops.
Visiting times
Park open from morning until late evening, free. The cable car mostly runs from the afternoon; ask at the gate on the day.
