KIRKUK IRAQ : ANCIENT CITADEL AND MODERN KIRKUK🇮🇶Solo Female Travel Iraq 🇮🇶

#Kirkuk #Iraq #IraqVlog I was again contacted by one of my subscribers to visit her in Kirkuk , i took along my new French friend Amel, who has been travelling to a few places with me since she arrived. my Host was an amazing woman, with 2 amazing kids, the oldest is just 10 but her English is amazing!!! we tried to go to Citadel the first day but it was closed, but made it the next day! the ruins seemed to go on forever Some Historians believe the Gutians that built the Citadel(based on an old Cuniform tablet) While other historians believe it was built during the reign of the Assyrian King "Ashur Nasirpal II between 850 and 884 BC There is the Phrophet Daniel Mosque here and the Al Aryan Mosque which is the one right in the centre.......this is just some brief research i did on UNESCO website but it goes on forever, way to much to write here! i wish i had more time in Kirkuk, but ill be going back soon. SO not what i expected to see in Kirkuk! about # and a half hours by shared taxi from Baghdad INSTAGRAM*****  / emmawitters_
