Thank you very much it was a pleasure to visit and feel the hospitality! I am glad you get to visit often 😌

@@Ziizoz thank you very much 😌

Thank you very much and I know exactly what you mean which is why I left that part in despite the bad recording :D I experienced absolutely 0 hustle in the markets there, the opposite in fact, people being genuinely interested and friendly and even giving gifts as a welcome present to Iraq!

@@bearusabarwry thank you very much! ☺️

@@Gargamel-it9vh Thank you! I have indeed and it’s absolutely stunning. The Imam Ali shrine is like nothing I’ve ever seen before and very opulent indeed, although personally I prefer the architecture and renaissance paintings in the Vatican, but they are comparable for sure. You have a great wish list 😁

@@Michaelsamy-lh2gs Wow, was that Samarra? It must be surreal seeing tourists go there now

Thank you 😌

Thats quite a negative statement. Mesopotamia and their civilisations and the Arabs have a huge and rich history before and alongside the Iranians

They are neither Arabs nor Persians. They are Assyrians, Babylonians, and Akkadians. The Arabs entered Mesopotamia in 637 AD.❤

@@LeonardoDaVincelli I agree that they have a rich history and they not Arabs the Babylonians - Sumserians - Assyrians were not Arabs and were a separate people and different from the Arabs.It is the oldest and oldest history of the world for Iranians

What are you even talking about? Lol! By your logic, Iran's land has been part of Iraq's land many times throughout history, like during the Babylonian Empire, Assyrian Empire, and Abbasid Caliphate. It's pretty ignorant to ignore that the oldest and greatest civilizations started in what is now Iraq, not Iran. The oldest civilization was the Sumerian civilization, which started in the South of Iraq. Also, Iranians aren't "pure" Persians, just like Iraqi Arabs aren't "pure" Arabs. Iranians are a mix of Persians with Central and South Asians (like Afghani, Pakistani, etc) while Iraqis have a diverse heritage that includes Mesopotamians like Assyrians, along with Persian, Jewish, Turkish, Peninsular Arab, and North African (Egyptian) DNA. "Arab" is a linguistic and cultural group, not a race. Most non-Peninsular Arabic speakers have little Peninsular Arab DNA. If you check DNA tests, you'll find that most Iraqis have 0-30% Peninsular Arab DNA. For example, my DNA test showed 66.3% Assyrian, 17.1% Iraqi Jew, 10.2% Peninsular Arab, and 6.4% Egyptian, yet I'm a native Arabic speaker from Iraq. People need to educate themselves. It's crazy how folks oversimplify complex historical facts just to be racist. A lot of our current practices, dishes, beliefs, words, and lifestyles go back thousands of years in Mesopotamia. So, please don't be shallow. You still have time to delete this embarrassing, biased comment.

موقعك تركيا وتقول انك من إليابان وحتى لم أرى بحياتي ياباني يكذب بالتاريخ لأنهم يدرسون التاريخ ويعلمون جيدا من العراق بلد عريق طوا حضارات عظيمة، أيها الإيراني او التركي الصغير حقدك وكرهك للعراق لان يغير من حقيقة التاريخ و المرة الثانية غير موقعك عندما تحاول أن تكذب 🤣

Thanks brooo 😁🤙

Hooray much appreciated! 😁

I absolutely did thank you 😁

I absolutely did thank you 😁

Thanks king chad

Thanks king

Thank you very much!

No problem at all :) more to come!

Absolutely right!

My friend and I got them in Jordan several years ago and they’re brilliant items of clothing and look great!

Thank you! I was actually with a friend from Basra who showed me a lot but I didn’t record all of it as I was enjoying time with them, but it was great to see and eat lots of the food! The locals are indeed incredible in the whole country!

Unfortunately yes but the locals told me how much it has improved in the last 5-10 years, hopefully that can continue!

@@LeonardoDaVincelli i live here this country has never seen peace before this 2 years

@@0op5z70 I really hope that continues and the unsafe reputation slowly changes, I felt very welcomed there

@@LeonardoDaVincelli glad to hear that 🙏

I'm not trying to sound rude, but I wanted to respond to your comment. There is always work in Iraq, but the United States always finds a way to demolish and destroy everything. Since the first Gulf War, when they convinced Saddam to attack Iran and gave him everything to accomplish his mission, until now they refuse to abandon Iraq, as they consider it their backyard.

A-tier flag

Thank you very much! More videos coming 😁

😌😌 أنا سعيد لأنك تعتقد ذلك

Twas sick m8 would recommend

Good to know 👌🏼 I wasn’t after that though

@@LeonardoDaVincelli nobody like palastaien hotel thay are rude and unwelcoming its the opposite of 🇮🇶 Iraq hospitality.

@@nadiewn7 😅 yeah it was unusual for Iraq, and to be fair the next morning in the Palestine Hotel the staff were different and they were very friendly and helpful!

My Iraqi friend took me to a tour agency and they quoted me these prices without a guide.

I am careful and responsible and wasn’t laughing at anybody in a negative way, the reason I came to Iraq was to appreciate the history and the hospitality of the people, of which some are my friends. Please do not assume before leaving a negative comment, I understand the horrors of what this country has faced.

@@LeonardoDaVincelli every buddy come and comment about the trash 🗑 we know thier is a problem 🙄 but there are more argent mater and more important . welcome to Iraq 🇮🇶

Thank you kindly 😌 it was so amazing!

Cheers 😁
