We visited Lalish in Kurdistan (Iraq) 🇮🇶

In this video, we visit Lalish where we spend some time exploring the temple of one of the oldest religions in the world - Yazidi. Prior to arriving, we made a visit over to a local restaurant to try some traditional Kurdish food that was absolutely delicious. Make sure to check out my friend ‪@YadVenturess‬ who explored this region with me.
