Abstract
Kurdish people have resided over centuries in the northern land and impassable mountains of Mesopotamia with typical customs. They follow a collection of Persian and Mesopotamian ancient rituals that secretly keep and veil their beliefs as a precious gemstone, and consider themselves as ‘Yezidis’ (Êzidî). They built some resorts in highlands of Hulwan and Sinjar in order to protect their ancient religion. They are honest, brave, and committed to their testament. The present paper briefly studies their creed and some customs
