Second Phase of Zakho Promenade Nearing Completion

As part of the Kurdistan Region’s ongoing efforts to boost tourism, the second phase of the Zakho Promenade — commonly known as the Corniche — is nearing completion, with a total investment of IQD 6 billion.

At this stage, the promenade extends for 3 kilometres and includes more than 50% green space, featuring 8-metre-wide pedestrian walkways on both sides.

Now 85% complete, the project includes a variety of public amenities such as restaurants, cafés, and tourist boats. Once finished, it is expected to significantly enhance Zakho’s appeal as a tourist destination and attract increased numbers of visitors.

The Zakho Promenade stands out as one of the most attractive and impactful initiatives undertaken by the ninth cabinet of the Kurdistan Regional Government and the Zakho District, drawing frequent visitors from across the Kurdistan Region and beyond.
