Located in northern Iraq, Erbil is the capital of the autonomous region of Kurdistan and one of the oldest cities in Iraq, with a history dating back to 6,000 B.C. It has been described as "the world's oldest continuously inhabited city". The Erbil Citadel in the heart of the city was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014 and has witnessed thousands of years of civilization. As the economic and cultural center of the Kurdish region, Erbil is an important political, economic, and tourist hub in Iraq, with its predominantly agricultural and oil industries and trade, its multi-ethnic population, and the common use of Kurdish, Arabic, and Turkish, as well as the integration of Mesopotamian, Kurdish, and Arab cultures.
