The Sapna Valley is a large valley in Northern Iraq, contained by two small mountain ranges to the north (Mateena Mountains) and south (Gozaneh Mountains) which are part of the greater Zagros mountain range. Politically, it lies within the Amedi District of Iraqi Kurdistan, and it is also a historic Assyrian region within Iraq. The valley is watered by the Great Zab river which flows along the eastern portion of the valley, and features hilly terrain in the central portion of it around the capital of the district.[1]
