Uraman or Huraman, as it is called in the Kurdish language, is a vast area covering the entire south of Kurdistan Province. Terraced farms and stone architecture of terraced villages, where the roofs of one row of houses happens to be the courtyards of another row of houses situated on a higher level, add to the beauty of the region. Uraman village is located in an east-west valley on a steep slope. Since the village had been the center of the local rulers, it is called Uraman Takht, takht meaning throne in Persian.
