Mindful meoweler tips

Traditional Kurdish Hospitality

Kurdish cats are famous for their warm and kind nature. If a cat extends its paw to touch another's nose, it means they are welcoming the other into their home. Expect the same warmth from the locals here in Al Qamishli.

The Annual Flower Festival of Al Qamishli

Each year, Al Qamishli hosts a flower festival in May, where visitors can admire the beauty and diversity of the city's local flora. Smell the roses and enjoy the colorful atmosphere!

Visiting a Beth Mardin Church

Al Qamishli is known for its ancient churches with beautiful architecture and intricate mosaics. Don't forget to remove your paws before entering the church and show respect for religious customs.

Handicraft Markets

Purchase handmade Kurdish textiles and tapestries in the souk or the markets. When shopping, don't forget to haggle and negotiate for a good deal!

The Tenth Day Festival

The large festival celebrates the memory of the Kurdish prophet Sheikh Adi Ibn Musafir and runs over ten days. Watch the whirling dervishes perform and enjoy traditional Kurdish music!
