Delal Bridge

The Delal Bridge spans the Khabur river in the town of Zakho in Iraqi Kurdistan, a tall stone arch of uncertain but clearly ancient origin, often attributed to the Roman or Abbasid era. Its single high span and cobbled walkway have made it a symbol of the town and a gathering place along the river. Local legend surrounds the bridge's construction, adding to its cultural resonance. Visitors can cross the arch on foot, watch the water flow beneath, and take in a structure joining the two banks for many centuries.
