Gali Sherana: Kurdistan’s Hidden Gem in Duhok

Nestled in the Deraluk sub-district of Amedi, Duhok province, Gali Sherana is a tranquil retreat that offers visitors a refreshing escape from the summer heat. Located approximately 60 kilometers north of Duhok city, this serene destination is accessible by car, with the most pristine areas requiring a scenic hike along cliff paths.

The allure of Gali Sherana lies in its crystal-clear, ice-cold mountain waters, which provide a rejuvenating experience for hikers and nature enthusiasts. Despite the region’s increasing popularity among tourists from both the Kurdistan Region and central and southern Iraq, the remote waterfalls and pools of Gali Sherana remain relatively untouched, preserving their natural beauty.  

Visitors are often captivated by the breathtaking views and the opportunity to immerse themselves in the lush greenery that surrounds the area. The resort’s architecture blends local traditions with modern comforts, offering well-appointed rooms, dining options featuring local cuisine, and outdoor activities that allow guests to explore the natural wonders of the region.
