Dusty days...

This weekend past (Friday and Saturday), most people tried to stay home to save their lungs from the choking dust rolling in. There was so much dust, the road in front of our apartments wasn't visible. However, being my last weekend before vacation, I had no choice. Yesterday, I headed for the bazaar... The photo below is taken from the top of the citadel (first stop - Textile Museum at the top of the citadel). Second stop, Bazaari Nishtiman: Fancy shopping center, but still, all the activity takes place over the pavement hawkers' wares.

Looking for simple things made in the region in the bazaar.
The children don't seem to mind the dust and play near the fountains near the Erbil Governorate building.
