The Holiest Place You've Never Heard of

Protecting a 7,000-Year-Old Faith

Lalish: A Sacred Valley in Northern Iraq

Tucked away in the Nineveh Plains of northern Iraq, the mountain valley of Lalish is a place of profound spiritual significance. Home to the Yazidi people, Laliş is the only spiritual center of their ancient religion and houses Quba Mêrê Dîwanê, the world's largest Yazidi temple.

The Yazidi faith is believed to be one of the oldest in the world, with roots stretching back over 7,000 years. At the heart of Yazidi spirituality is the figure of Sheikh Adi ibn Musafir, a revered figure who is believed to have founded the religion in the 12th century.

The sacred valley of Lalish is a testament to the enduring spirit of the Yazidi people. Despite centuries of persecution and displacement, their faith has remained strong, preserved within these hallowed grounds.
