Sulaymaniyah or Slemani (Kurdish: سلێمانی, romanized: Silêmanî;[3][4] Arabic: السليمانية, romanized: as-Sulaymāniyyah[5]), is a city in the east of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, not far from the Iran–Iraq border. It is surrounded by the Azmar (Ezmer), Goizha (Goyje) and Qaiwan (Qeywan) Mountains in the northeast, Baranan Mountain in the south and the Tasluja Hills in the west. The city has a semi-arid climate with very hot dry summers and cold wet winters.
Slemani was the home of poets such as Nalî, Mahwi, and Piramerd.[6][7] The modern city of Slemani was founded in 1784[8] by the Ottoman-Kurdish prince Ibrahim Pasha Baban, who named it after his father Sulaiman Pasha.[9] Slemani was the capital of the historic principality of Baban from 1784 to 1850.
