@chasing.crystal: Dwin Castle was built in the 10th century and was home to the renowned historic Kurdish leader Salahuddin al-Ayyubi. He was the founder of the Ayyubi dynasty and led Muslim fighters against European crusaders in the Levant. Salahuddin’s sultanate spanned Egypt, Syria, Mesopotamia, Hejaz, and Yemen during the 12th century. The best time to visit Dwin Castle? Right on the cusp of Spring and Summer. Winter rains make the roads flood, so it was sketch for Crystal to cross. Arrive too late and the land is scorching! If on a motorcycle, definitely recommend visiting the cusp of Spring 🏍️🌱 #chasingcrystal #kurdistan #mesopotamia #salahadin #kurdishhistory
