Going south, here it is (currently) not allowed for foreigners to pass, due to the security situation in the province. You have to go further east, via Kanaqin where there is another checkpoint which is very thorough.
We don't have any photos of this place yet.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Update: If you were entering from Turkey, then do NOT take this route from Slemani south at all.
There seems to be a checkpoint around Kirkuk where you get your car entered in the Irak-proper computer system.
If going from Slemani to Baghdad directly this will not be done. Problems at the border when leaving the country are likely.
So go back from Slemani to Erbil and then via Kirkuk, this is my advice.
