The road
Paved throughout. From Duhok take the Mosul road south, turning off toward Sheyhan. The final 3 km into the valley is a narrower paved road; parking is at the valley entrance. Signposted from the main highway.

Lalish Temple
The holiest site of the Yazidi faith — a valley sanctuary of cone-roofed shrines, sacred springs, and centuries of unbroken pilgrimage.
