Introduction
Iraqi Kurdistan refers to the 3 Kurdish northern Iraqi Cities, which are ruled by the Kurdistan Regional Government. The 3 Kurdish Provinces are, Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, and Duhok. Having been spared the war of 2003, Kurdistan-Iraq is a very different place from southern Iraq. With a minimal level of terrorist activity and massive economic development, Kurdistan is fast becoming a "gateway to Iraq" with high levels of foreign investment and development of infrastructure.
