Sarsing (Kurdish: سەرسینگ, romanized: Sersing,[2][3] Syriac: ܣܪܣܢܓ)[4] is a town and sub-district in the Dohuk Governorate in Kurdistan Region, Iraq.

[8] By the early 1960s, Sarsing had become a key tourist attraction and a hotel, cinema, and restaurants were established.

[6] However, after the war, most of the Assyrians' land to the north and west of Sarsing were seized and settled by Kurds from the villages of Araden Islam and Kani Janarki under instruction from the Kurdish military leader Mustafa Barzani in 1972–1973.

[6] In the aftermath of the Al-Anfal campaign and establishment of the Iraqi no-fly zones, displaced Kurds from the village of Jia in Erbil Governorate were resettled in 1993 by Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) leader Masoud Barzani in lands to the east of Sarsing seized from Assyrians, until which point Sarsing had been exclusively populated by Assyrians.

[10] On 22 July 1998, it was reported that Assyrian houses at Sarsing were attacked by Kurds and some were injured by gun fire, including a fourteen-year-old child.
