Sulaymaniyah

Hi Ctrocado

         Though the post is bit old. But in case you still looking for answers. I am living in Sulimaniyah since one year as expat. Please find below few answers.

Would someone give me indications about where to stay ( hotel ) at arrival for the first days?
salim Street you can find some hotel.
General comments on:
Weather in winter ( should I bring warm clothes?)
For sure it will going to be very cold in -5 0r few days even -10 C. Also wind is very fast so even average temp it feel very cold.
Which is the best part of town to rent ( looking for furnished apartment for 1)
Gozhia City and German village are good option though it may cost around 1000 USD or more.
Cost of living,
depends I guess 700-800 for rent and may be 300-400 for food etc.
Transport,
Taxi is not that expensive and can easily be available 24*7 (most of the time)
Security, Very good haven't seen any issue.
Available banks and ATMs,
North Bank, Bank of Baghdad but most people use cash and no accoutns.
Air flight companies working in Sulaymaniyah going to Europe
I know Turkish airline and Qatar so both can take u to Europe for sure.

Good luck and send me private message for more details.
