Erbil - Post Report Question and Answers

Is this a good city for single people? For couples? For families? Why or why not?

It's a small compound. It's usually easier for couples living here than for singles since they get their own house. While you can socialize with people you might be unlucky and find no one to do that with, and it gets to be hard over time because of the social isolation. - Apr 2018


No families here. Spouses are allowed to come to Post if they receive an EFM assignment (there are 5 positions available at present- CLO, Housing, Consular Associate, Facilities Manager, POLMIL). Couples generally have a better time at Post than singles. There is very little dating here due to the high ratio of men to women. - Feb 2016
