Zawa Mountain is located 900m above sea level and 350m above the western Semel plain. Since decades, its hilltop and slopes have experienced consistent deforestation resulting in a grassland rocky landscape, which is now largely devoid of trees. Nevertheless, it contains a low density of shrubs and serves as a potential key recreational facility for Duhok city, metropolitan region, and the metropolis region/province; Kurdistan region; as well as the country because of its prominent location that oversees Duhok city and farther Duhok Lake at the north, Semel town and the Tigris River at the west, Mosul Lake at the south-west, and a cluster of small towns and extensive plains at the south. Although it is relatively undeveloped, Zawa Mountain has become popular for tourists. It provides spectacular panoramic views towards all aforementioned urban places and lakes, in addition to the surrounding landscapes and mountains because it has natural high vantage points, a naturalistic quality that provides it with great potential assets and focus for tourism.
Currently, the local people use these points to enjoy distant views. They drive up the mountain especially to enjoy sunset and entertain themselves often through picnics and barbecue gatherings.
This mountain has been a significant cultural location since the Assyrian Period as it contains Maltai (currently Halamata cave) that includes, on its northern slopes, carvings relief depicting the Assyrian king and the principal Assyrian gods, and burial chambers dating back to 8th century BCE. In addition, archaeological excavations at the northern foot of the Mountain namely in Shendokha village, have led to discovery of many ancient antiques.
