Soran District, Administrative district in Erbil Governorate, Iraq.
Soran District extends across mountainous terrain bordered by Zozik Mountain to the north and Korek Mountain to the south, with three rivers flowing through its territory.
The district evolved from its initial governance center in Rawandiz to its current administrative structure, encompassing five sub-districts that shape the regional development.
The University of Soran serves as an educational center for the region, reflecting the commitment to academic advancement within the Kurdistan community.
The district maintains connections to major Kurdish cities through developing transportation networks, facilitating movement between its 346 villages and surrounding regions.
Three rivers - Balek, Balekiyan, and Bekhal - intersect the district, providing water resources and supporting the agricultural activities of local communities.
