Rawanduz City The city of Rawanduz is located 107 km northeast of Erbil. The name of the city comes from Rawn, a famous poet from the area, and Duz, which means Citadel or Tower. It is located between the Valley of Karand and Kala Rash and is over 500 meters above sea level. The district is surrounded by mountains, Korek Mountain is to the south, Hindren Mountain to the north, Zozik Mountain to the west, and Bradasot Mountain to the east.

Bekhal waterfall Bekhal waterfall spreads horizontally as it descends while remaining in contact with bedrock; the large stream issues from the mountain. Near the base of the mountain visitors can find a bazaar and food stalls. You can also climb up the fairly precarious and slippery steps to the top of the waterfall to experience the stunning view and drink the refreshing and sweet mineral water. Bekhal’s sweet water is used to bottle mineral water throughout Kurdistan and Iraq; the water is sold under the brand name of Kani Mineral Water.

Kharand valleyAt 980 m, Kharand is a natural site located west of Rawanduz on the road to Soran. The road section within the village of Kawlokan is named Kali Kharand while the section lying to the side of Rawanduz is called Kharand. A visit is highly recommended to see this stunning scenery!
Kurdish (Kurdî, کوردی; pronounced [ˈkuɾdiː]) is a continuum of Northwestern Iranian languages spoken by the Kurds in Western Asia. Kurdish forms three dialect groups known as Northern Kurdish (Kurmanji), Central Kurdish (Sorani), and Southern Kurdish (Palewani). A separate group of non-Kurdish Northwestern Iranian languages, the Zaza–Gorani languages, are also spoken by several million Kurds.[5][6][7][8] Studies as of 2009 estimate between 8 and 20 million native Kurdish speakers in Turkey.[9] The majority of the Kurds speak Northern Kurdish ("Kurmanji").[10][11]

The literary output in Kurdish was mostly confined to poetry until the early 20th century, when more general literature began to be developed. Today, there are two principal written Kurdish dialects, namely Northern Kurdish in the northern parts of the geographical region of Kurdistan and Central Kurdish further east and south. Central Kurdish is, along with Arabic, one of the two official languages of Iraq and is in political documents simply referred to as "Kurdish"
