Koxhie (Kurdish: كوخيێ, romanized: Koxhî) is a mountainous village in Nineveh Governorate, Kurdistan Region, Iraq, within the Shikhan District (Ain Sifni).

Houses

Most houses are built from plaster and stone, and clay is also used for thermal insulation. Roofs are covered with wooden planks and then coated with clay.

Population

Most of the village's residents were displaced and migrated to the center of Shekhan District and nearby villages. The area is inhabited by Muslim Kurds and Yazidi Kurds. The village is characterized by rugged mountainous terrain, and due to these harsh conditions, residents use donkeys and other pack animals for transportation, as well as agricultural tractors.

Climate

Summer temperatures in the Shikhan area do not exceed 46 °C, while winters are relatively cold due to the mountain ranges stretching across northern Iraq. The temperature rarely drops below 5 °C.
