A series of Neo-Assyrian rock reliefs cut into the cliff face on the southern edge of Duhok, dating from the reign of Sennacherib (705–681 BC). Four panels show the Assyrian king and a procession of gods — Ashur, Sin, Shamash, and others — in a religious composition similar to that of the better-known reliefs at Maltai, a few kilometres away. The carving is shallow and very weathered, but on a clear day with low sun the figures emerge surprisingly well.
The site is easy to reach: a short taxi ride from the city centre, then a few minutes' scramble up a marked path. There is no entrance fee. Visit in the morning when the rock face is in shade and the contrast is best.
