IRAQI KURDISH Markets

The markets of Iraqi Kurdistan are enormous and culturally rich and traditional. They alternate between open spaces and vast covered areas in a chaotic network. Shops are grouped in specific areas according to the type of goods offered. Life around and within the markets is vibrant, and they become the primary hub of the cities.
