How safe is Erbil?
Erbil is a very safe city as it is filled with Arabs, Kurds as well as plenty of foreigners. It is a very developed city and yet sets its boundaries with women. In public transport, men stand up for women if there isn't a seat available. Also they prefer to sit alone or with a man rather than a woman to keep their distance. Almost everywhere everyone treats each other with great respect and hospitality
