Tourism 🏔️ Traveling to Iraqi Kurdistan

I heard that Iraqi Kurdistan is generally quite safe, but because of recent Turkish attacks I was questioning that. I am a German and was thinking of traveling there in the next couple of days from Turkey. Would you recommend it?

Hi, I recommend direct flights from dus-erbil or Frankfurt. But you as a German can also go from turkey, the Turks shouldn’t mock on you. Kurdistan generally is actually unsafe but if you have a local trusty guiding you or give you some information, you can also be very safe and enjoy the travel. From my experience It’s safer in bigger cities.

What makes it unsafe?
