Not quite the dream you imagined, but between Dream City and the park near Dohuk Dam we have the reason this is similar to Vank. This is a theme park full of rides and a few food outlets. It’s basically a fun fair and this type of thing is becoming cool in Iraq these days

There are Christians and Armenians in this region too so the Church of St. Ith Llaha is worth checking out.
It seems that, in every city or town of any decent size in Iran, Iraq and Turkey, there's a bazaar. Dohuk’s is colourful and has all the usual stuff – fruit and veg stalls, drinks, clothes, nik baks, electronics etc
This might just be your highlight from Dohuk. Walk out of town and you will see a massive dam which has been built against completely immaculate and scenic countryside. The walk takes you up a hill past a proud Kurdistan flag and then there it is – the Dohuk Dam.
First of all – these waterfalls are fake. They are not natural at all. Sometimes they are turned off! However this doesn’t stop the locals from going and enjoying them and you’ll want to get your photo taken anyway as you walk past.
