My father just came from there, he said that Iraqi people are very generous

[@AleSalvino]

very true!

[@zahaali7475]

I was born there!

That mosque you visited was one of the most beautiful things we have ever seen. Stinks you got sick, but a great excuse to drink more tea. Anyone who watches your channel should no to not believe media hype and to just visit these amazing but misunderstood countries. 🇮🇶

[@AleSalvino]

Very impressive indeed, still looking at both shrines of Najaf & Karbala and look stunning! :) Thanks a lot guys for your support and the kind comments! 🙏🏼

Hey Ale, just finished watching your 3 episodes of Iraq, I was in baghdad last summer for 2 weeks and I cried tears of nostalgia watching the places you've been into.. I had such a good time there. the 3 last days I was there I made 3 iraqis friends everyday we would hang out all day drinking tea, eating food and enjoying life like I was a local ahaha, for me its one of the best country i've visited

[@AleSalvino]

So glad you enjoyed the episodes and spent time last summer in Baghdad, what an incredible place! 🙏 People are open and friendly in general so making friends there, drinking tea, eating, etc.. must have been an incredible moment :)

Karbala is the most holy Islamic city in which Imam Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, is located. In the Hijri month of Muharram, approximately 23 million visitors come to Karbala within 20 days. I advise you to come to this great forum in Iraq ♥️♥️

[@AleSalvino]

Karbala was incredible!

[@misterlaith4308]

It is not the most holy, unless you place Hossein above the Prophet Rasullah SAW.

[@hobalwatan1816]

Still not the most holy, he is a human like any other of us. Many people are descended from the Prophet Muhammad SAW, but we do not praise them for their biology @@hobalwatan1816

Thank you Ale Iraq 🇮🇶 is an amazing country, the people are kind and sweet. 30 years of instability, conflict and sanctions pushed the country nearly back to the stone ages. I'm glad things are looking so much better, new buildings are being constructed while old buildings are being refurbished. Tourists are now coming to see the beauty of Iraq 🇮🇶. Much love and Aloha to you Ale and the beautiful kind and friendly people of Iraq 🇮🇶 from Hawaii

The energy you give off is the energy you mostly receive in life. Your camera gear as you travel and that you actively share your identity as a lover of football and from Argentina gives you a higher status in the areas your traveling and the treatment you're getting. Enjoy the journey and keep meeting the interesting people that live in Iraq and the rest of the world :) Stay safe, healthy and whole.

[@AleSalvino]

Thank you very much Abhi! Hope you're well my friend 🙏🏼

[@KrisKazlauskaite]

I see your guide really enjoyed the local food haha! On a serious note, - this is not a vlog but rather becoming a mini documentary (like other parts too), it takes time to ask all these questions and get a deeper sense of the culture. I definitely want to travel there, looks like a very welcoming country. Thanks a lot for your time sharing all this! 🙌🏻

[@AleSalvino]

Glad you liked it, these videos take a lot of time not just to film but also to edit... but it's so nice to see that this can resonate with many people out there!

Dear Iraqis, My government is fucking everything up yet again and I’m incredibly embarrassed and sorry. Please don’t be mad at me. I don’t vote for them.

[@rolandrickphotography]

Awesome channel. That digestive problems at 1:51 might also be caused when switching from western upf (ultra processed food) to real food. Might happen anywhere. The digestive system switches back and is de-poisoning from the junk food. Such cleaning rituals are done by tribes of the South American rainforest. The process is tough. But after it you feel like reborn.

[@hobalwatan1816]

The food they offered it to you is not from a shop it is because in these days people walk towards Karbala and offer food, drink, shelter and all you need for free to everyone to make the journey easier, and also because of their generous souls, you need to read more about Imam Hussain story and why people are doing this in millions actually more than 30 million people gathered in Karbala from around the world every year and the people who serve are not getting paid from the government to offer the services to the pilgrims it all comes from the people themselves they save their money throughout the year to spend it to offer the food to everyone for free.. welcome to Iraq and many thanks for sharing your experience with us 🇬🇧

Hey, yes on Argentina's passport. I know few people who did it with American passports and no issues really... at least from what I saw, hope it helps!
