How the journey works
Dohuk has no passenger airport of its own, so Erbil is the arrival point and the road north takes about two and a half hours. Dohuk also sits close to the Syrian border, which makes it a staging point for travellers heading on to the Jazira.
The fare
Nobody sells a ticket to Dohuk, so nobody quotes you the real cost of getting there. We quote the flight and the road as one number.
When to travel
Mountain country — cool summers by Iraqi standards and snow in the hills in winter. Spring and early autumn are the best of it, and the cheapest.
