To create this Iraq series, I teamed up with my guides at Bil Weekend ( / bilweekend | bilweekend.com/) and my good friend and fellow travel filmmaker Tasos Karantakos ( / agreeksolo .
My time in southern Iraq continued with a traditional Iraqi breakfast and exploration of Basra’s old city and a local market. Come with me and let me show you what Basra is all about!
AL HASSUN RESTAURANT AND MUSEUM: Here, we saw the museum, which is filled with lots of antiques, before watching the chef, Hidar, cook us three amazing dishes. We had sweet and savory fried eggs with dibis (date syrup), makhlama (lamb omelet), and kubba (fritters stuffed with minced lamb).
OLD CITY OF BASRA: After breakfast, we visited the Old City, which is made up of lots of old homes and buildings. It’s currently being restored by UNESCO. We got exclusive access to a large, beautiful home undergoing restoration!
BASRA MARKET: In the local market, we met lots of friendly vendors selling everything from sweets to produce to fresh fish. I bought a new turban, tried an amazing local lime juice called Numi Al-Basra, and got to see local butchers selling and cutting meat and seafood.

[@living_peace]

Thanks David you deserve more views because You show the countries that are wrongly infamous and few foreign tourists rarely visit those countries People of the world should see the reality of Iraq Greeting to Iraq and Iraqi people from Iran ❤

Unfortunately, the Shiite areas are not clean, and after the war, we were hoping that only the better would change, but the opposite happened

[@hoodadventuretv1890]

Yesssssss I totally agree through channels likeDavid's,and mark weins, us Americans, have been lied to about other countries, now I have to try and find an Iraqi restaurant in Chicago USA

[@SindyJB]

You can find date syrup "dibis" in the US in Iraqi markets , we have it in San Diego

[@devijones]

@SindyJB I did not know that date syrup was a thing until you started watching DBH Iraq videos. I saw it was available online as well. I can't wait to try it.

[@SindyJB]

@Devi Jones you will love it. It's healthy and so delicious. Dibis with scrambled eggs cooked in butter makes an amazing breakfast 😋

[@crabmusic1]

Oh wow that sounds so good I love dates and to have date syrup would be such a rewarding thing for me cuz nobody else likes dates but me so it would be all mine 🇺🇸☮️👍

[@Manlkiwaa]

Antiques...always interesting to see....the wholesome breakfasts....and those beautiful archetectural buildings....and above all Markets...just love seeing markets from around the World, all the colorful fruits ...veges...everything. Another beautiful video of Iraq. As always thanks David and Tasos and safe travels.

[@crabmusic1]

The actor Billy Bob Thornton will not have any antiques in his home he said they are full of bad vibes and passed whatever that's cool it's it's how he believes and you know that's that's a good thing

[@MelvinMansoor]

Bro when you were eating the eggs and date syrup I was wondering wtf that tasted like. I’m Iraqi and forgot I’ve had that before. The difference is I grew up on scrambled eggs with actual dates mixed in. Great great flavor, especially when the eggs are salted for flavor. I love that you’re enjoying my parent’s home country.

LOVE🇮🇶❤️

[@tomashoffmann8963]

Amazing thank you David!!!

[@Sara-nk3jc]

Enjoying your videos.. From UAE 🇦🇪

[@ingridbee9192]

Hello David, again a very lovely video. I love the breakfast it looks so delicious. I could imagine the heat you were feeling. How did you make out?? I grew up in heat, but now its to much for me😃. The market place is so interesting. Lots of fish, fresh vegetables, fruits etc. The ring, you almost had to buy it, it nearly could not come off. Lovely to see this amazing place. Thank you💕💕💕

[@grantguy8933]

wasn't this the major battle with the marines? glad peace is back and wish we no longer make such mistakes

[@kc-ps5979]

We hope that because Iraq was badly damaged after the war and after the withdrawal of the US army from it

Basrah, also known as Basra, is a city in Iraq located on the Shatt al-Arab river near the Persian Gulf. It is one of the major ports of Iraq and has a long history as a center of trade and commerce. Basrah is known for its cultural heritage, including historic buildings, mosques, and museums. The city has faced challenges in recent years due to conflicts and instability in the region, but efforts are being made to revitalize and create a brighter future for Basrah.

[@utpalgogoi1982]

David, very nice

[@najibhourany6025]

Nice

[@SABAKU1968]

David, Thanks You are a professional, unique and decent youtuber. I will try to make the egg with dates syrup. You missed the Zubaidi fish. We in Saudi don’t have a fresh Zubaidi like Iraq. Zubaidi with rice is a crazy food. Thanks always. With love from Saudi

[@AussieAngeS]

Merry Christmas to you and your family David thanks for another great video as always.

[@JudyT868]

Nice video David. So simple. I loved the breakfast. One looked like a frittata and the other one looked like poached, sunnyside up, fried eggs. Healthy and tasty. Even the soup looked delicious: like a matzo ball. Loved the market but the seafood and meat areas left a little to be desired. Not my favorite. It would be interesting to see the old buildings after the restoration and renovations are done. Jafar really came to life in this one, and Tasos, where are you trying to lose weight? You look good. Anyway, David, I am glad you didn't buy the ring. It just didn't look right. Beware of buying rings and jewelry in these places because a lot of them might have nickel in the alloy which causes allergic reaction and rashes. As the plating wears off, the nickel gets exposed. So be aware. Another interesting video. What's next? 🙏😇🕊️🇹🇹🇨🇦

I’m 2nd generation Iraqi and we have a name for new Iraqis that come to the United States (boaters) lol 😂. Dave is chilling with boaters.

[@abbastavangar489]

Vary good 👍

[@mamasamsung1220]

The video is very nice, but unfortunately why this large amount of waste and rubbish everywhere. It is forbidden for this to be the case in Basra. Where is the secretariat of Basra from all this, and where do the money and wealth of the great Iraq go?
