I am interested in climbing as well!

Mahmoud, you shall join the "Rock Ur Bones" group on Facebook. They organize hikes from Erbil almost weekly (on Fridays) and some are climbers too. Also do not forget there is a climbing wall at Sami Abdulrahmani Park, where they also organize climbing afternoons from time to time.
The Group is "closed": you shall visit the page and apply for admission. Nice people and a lot of fun!

It's a good group,
There is a kayaking & hiking event on friday at dukan lake 
Let's join.

......... if anyone is interested in rock climbing I heard there are some bolted climbs within an hour of erbil near shaklawa. Or has anyone has heard if there is an indoor gym?

Why seeking for indoor climbing (horrible, just good for training) when there is a beautiful climbing wall at the park and there is thousands of real rock walls that just wait to be "opened"?

Hi guys,
Glad to find out about this blog! I ride my bike in Erbil on Fridays or Saturdays mornings? And I work for big international beverage industry company in Erbil. I also have consulting/service business as personal shopper for everything you cant find in Kurdistan I would bring it from abroad. I have a page on FB.  Anyways, I would love to ride with you guys on 31Oct. Or 1st Nov.

Thank you,
Haya
