Discover more about مصيف فيين

Veen Resort, or مصيف فيين, is a burgeoning tourist destination located in the Nineveh Governorate, close to the town of Sheladiz. Situated at the foot of Mount Karah, the resort is fed by three waterfalls that cascade into the Great Zab River, offering a cool and tranquil environment. The main waterfall, known locally as 'Bridal Veil' due to its shape as it flows down the mountain, is a particularly popular spot. Visitors can explore the other waterfalls by car and traverse a wooden bridge stretching 85 meters across the Great Zab River. This bridge has become an attraction in its own right, drawing visitors from across Iraq. The resort itself was developed to showcase the natural beauty of the area. In 2006, it only received a few visitors, but now welcomes up to 30,000 monthly during the summer. The resort features swimming pools, gardens and can accommodate up to 5,000 tourists. The water is very cold and potable, and the surrounding area is rich with walnut and maple trees, as well as various herbs used in local cooking and medicine.
