12. Arbil – more than 6 thousand years old

Fourth largest city in Iraq, after Baghdad, Basra and Mosul, Erbil, with its more than 6 thousand years old, is considered one of the oldest places on the planet. Incredible as it may seem, although it is located in Iraqi territory, the place is one of the safest not only in the country, but in the world, being chosen as the headquarters of consulates of several countries that have diplomatic relations with Iraq and Kurdistan.

Urban life in Erbil began in the sixth millennium BC, making it one of the oldest continuously inhabited locations in the world.

At the heart of the city is the Citadel of Arbil – the ancient Arbilum, where the temple of Ishtar was built in antiquity, or later Arbela, famous for the battle in which Alexander the Great defeated the Persian King Darius III. This most historic part of the city was even listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 2014.
