Inside its famous citadel, which offers great views over the city, guests can find beautiful traditional rugs and textiles at the Kurdish Textile Museum and a showcase of textile techniques by traditional tribes and endangered nomads of Kurdistan. Erbil is also home to many parks, such as the Sami Abdul Rahman Park, stretching over many hectares and a quiet green oasis for relaxation without leaving the city.
