The Erbil Citadel, locally called Qelat (Kurdish: قەڵای ھەولێر Qelay Hewlêr) is a tell or occupied mound, and the historical city centre of Erbil in the Kurdistan Region. I never knew there is a song about it. Hear the fabulous Naseer Shamma from Egypt.

In traditional Islamic architecture, Mashrabiyya (Arabic مشربية) is the name given to decorative wooden lattices that were used as lattice barriers in mosques or as window lattices or as balcony claddings in residential buildings and palaces. Mashrabiyyas are usually composed of carved or turned pieces of wood arranged in geometric patterns. They serve to protect against direct sunlight as well as exposure, as well as room ventilation.
