The story

Duhok Summer Festival in Duhok

An eleven-day trade and tourism fair in Duhok with more than seventy exhibition tents, drawing small businesses and family enterprises from across Kurdistan plus exhibitors from the UAE and Egypt. Framed by organizers around boosting tourism, trade, and youth employment, it is broader in scope than the food-focused Duhok Food Festival, covering handicrafts and regional products rather than restaurant cuisine.

More than seventy exhibition tents fill a Duhok fairground each time the Duhok Summer Festival runs, drawing small businesses and family-run enterprises from across the Kurdistan Region alongside exhibitors from as far as the United Arab Emirates and Egypt.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What sets this festival apart is its explicit economic mandate and international exhibitor list: alongside Kurdistan Region businesses, companies from the United Arab Emirates and Egypt take part, giving it more of a trade-fair character than Duhok's other festivals

02

The mystery stays covered

Organizers and provincial officials have repeatedly framed the event around job creation and support for family-run enterprises rather than around a single food category or harvest, and its eleven-day run is considerably longer than Duhok's other themed festivals, several of which last only two or three days
