Kirkuk, which is a very important historical and economic center, meets a considerable part of the oil production of Iraq, the world's third largest oil exporter. The city is also one of the most important cultural centers of the region. The Hassa Stream, which runs through the middle of the city built on a flat plain, divides the city into Eskiyaka and Koryayak. The city's religious temples, historical buildings dating back to before Christ and its unique gastronomic culture undoubtedly deserve to be explored in one breath.
