Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan's biggest city, is lively and hectic with new buildings springing up all over the place.
In the middle of the city, standing high on a large rock outcrop above the countless cranes, is the Citadel of Erbil.
Some archeologists believe that this dusty red fort is the longest continually inhabited place on earth.
People have lived here for some 8,000 years.
"The city is really peaceful and beautiful. There are no terrorists and no bombs."
