Baghdad, Iraq ➖On our first day here in Iraq, we drove past this crazy street that was home to the worst traffic I have ever witnessed. It was a sensory overload at the time with thousands of people, cars honking and just absolute carnage out on the streets. So I knew that I had to make it back to this street and explore the local area, trying the drinks and meeting the people. It sure was crazy!

The West and America are terrorist countries that destroyed Iraq. It was the most beautiful country in the Middle East and the country of culture, love and art They deceived the world by invading Iraq. Even the prime minister who participated in the occupation of Iraq asserted that he was wrong, and the occupation of Iraq is the biggest massacre against humanity and civilization in the twenty-first century. Iraq is a great country with the first human civilizations, which are the Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian and Assyrian. It has the most beautiful countries in the world, the city of Babylon, the wonder of time, and Alexander the Great, the Macedonian, took Babylon as the capital of his empire. Likewise, Iraq has the Persian Empire and the Islamic Empire, and Baghdad is its capital Iraq was the first to invent writing Medicine, engineering, astronomy, arithmetic, agriculture, the invention of the wheel, and the first human calendar is that it is a great country. In one day, more than 500 children, women and elderly people were killed in the massacre of Al-Amiriya shelter

What amazes me the most is that when we go to these countries they treat tourists so nice, the locals are so friendly and their smile comes from inside. On the other hand, when traveling in Europe is completely the opposite. Tourists are seen as cash cows and people usually look depressed and miserable. When a smile comes out one can def spot is fake. I'm planning to visit mainly middle eastern/LatAm countries now. Much friendlier locals.

[@mhd2680]

You can come any time Consider North Africa region in your journey list

[@whereisearth9825]

And let me actually explain it to you...most countries in South Asia and the people living in this part of the world are hospitable..like way too much towards a foreigner...have you ever wondered why?because when western media considers someone's country bad as hell...then definitely the people get hurt when they realize it...and a broken heart only holds love..that love takes the shape of hospitality because they also want to be accepted and loved...I am sure any one in the west would never welcome an iraqi like this or a Pakistani or Indian or anyone ..

[@mhd2680]

@@whereisearth9825 Hospitality is in our gene It has nothing to do with western perception towards middle eastern or South Asia Unless in my case since I am from Libya

[@yasirkadhim2940]

The poorer the country, the friendlier the people. the richer the country, the stronger the bubble that everyone lives in is. I have lived in London for almost 13 years and I still don't know my next door neighbours name, its crazy. Back in Iraq, entire neighbourhoods know everyone, and they give each other gifts and food on special occasions, and they go to events together. If you ever need to get to someone's house you literally ask a random person on the street "Where does X live?" and they will tell you, try doing that in Europe lol. The sense of community is ALWAYS stronger in poorer countries, and that is why you are correct and should stay visiting South American, Middle Eastern and Asian countries. One more misconception people have is safety. I feel 100x safer in Iraq than I do in London, because again everyone knows everyone. I can go out at 3 am and the shops are still open and people are in the streets talking, people in cafes drinking tea. if I go out at 3 am In London I will get robbed or stabbed. This will never ever happen in Iraq, dont let the media lie to you. Our country was destroyed and bombed and had the economy wrecked by sanctions on LIES (Iraq was invaded on the false grounds that we had nuclear weapons) from the exact same countries that portray it as evil and dangerous. Do not listen to them, understand that humans are morally good and kind by default unless they are corrupted by greed and money. When you come to these countries, you see how the human soul is truly like by default and THAT is why it feels so refreshing. It is genuine love and not fake friendliness and smiles like you see in the west.

شبعان كيف الوضع امامنا كارثة انسانية اسواق عشوائية وشوارع قمامة والناس همجيين وتاكسي مواصلات من العهد الحجري

@TravalwithlukeDamant I am from baghdad who lives abroad. This street was one of my favorite places to go and spend some good time. Thanks for taking me back to it and making me feel that I was walking in there in person. By the way, on the other side of the street where you had your orange juice, is the biggest pets market in Baghdad that opens only on Fridays moring, just in case if you wanted to go back and do another video. My respect to you Luke

[@LukeDamant]

Thank you for sharing, I might go back someday 😊

[@rotorgamingyt]

[@Jiyaa220]

The best thing of your vlog is everything happening is unplanned and organic stuff you shared thanks for entertaining us..i feel i already watched this vlog on your channel??🧐🧐

[@alanzemsky7695]

It’s such a pleasure to watch your travel videos Luke! You are certainly showing us people all around the world that are so kind! Keep up the amazing work.

[@LukeDamant]

Yes! This is the reality I wanted to share with others 🙏

[@Busybeeee]

I absolutely loved this video. I have never seen the streets of Iraq, they kind of reminded me of a busier Aman . I loved the hustle and bustle of the streets and I really loved your interactions with the people. The addition of the “ Shukran, Habibi, YaAlah ,the Shuu and the bits of Arabic you spoke was just genius and shows how you are open to learning about the culture. Hats off to you Luke for vlogging this ! ☺️👍👌

[@salamg.h1592]

I saw this video over 5 times and still smiling weil watching it and feeling very proud that I'm from Iraq 🇮🇶 thank you Luke for visiting my country ❤

[@dantales.2]

After all the wars and poverty in Iraq.. you still see the generosity and kindness. How! This is the true Muslims behaviour, not what you see on tv

fake

[@HB-mn8lh]

I thought, this nickname was misrepresenting the fact stated in comment. But it appears to be well represented and real, so please don't mind. Thanks

[@gologodesigns]

I love love love how you gave that man $50 without hesitation and the hospitality you received as well from the locals. Awesome! 😊❤️

[@user-wk5vi4tr3u]

The money he gave to the young man is approximately $15, not 50, but the young man wanted to return the rest to him, but he refused

[@ItzTankzz]

I have family at Iraq and I always come to Iraq like every 2 years 🇦🇫❤️‍🔥🇮🇶 true brother's.

Hi. I'm watching All the way South Africa 🇿🇦📺🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@jamestrads497]

Iraqi people are one of the nicest people in the world . I was in Iraq before the pandemic and I loved the country. Love from the USA. Don't believe to these media , they are liars!

[@f4wnz132]

Honor us again with post-pandemic visit, good sir!

[@quran2953]

مشاء الله على العراقيين عندهم عزة النفس ماعندهم طمع بافلوس اخوكم من بلاد قابوس رحمة الله عليه

[@speedymose4965]

man, what great people! I'm inspired by their kindness. So cool :)

[@verdeleonais2010]

Incredible people out there ❤️ love you from Algeria 🇩🇿

[@oromtitiwbo5078]

Luke has a unique face where he looks like a local in many of these countries he has visited. Iraq, Pakistan, Kyrgyzstan, Egypt, Lebanon etc 🤣 it is only his Auzzie accent that gives him away. anyways great vlog Iraqis are lovely people🤗❤️

[@thelion2087]

I lived in Iraq, and I can attest that the Iraqi people are incredibly hospitable. They often offer free food and supplies to welcome foreigners, and they refuse to accept money in return. If you visit Iraq during the Ashura months, you'll receive free food and hospitality throughout the country. Most amazing thing you’ll never see anywhere in the world 🇮🇶

[@swissboyswissboy767]

From wich country?

[@bashersbeware]

What an eye opener to me as a Filipino. Filipinos inclination is towards the Western World, specifically the US. So much bad publicity has been told about Iraq. Testament to this is your friend, Ali, whenever he mentions to Filipinos that he's FROM Iraq, you would see the reaction of people "Ohhh.... Iraq..." We nevertheless still love and wholeheartedly accept Ali. It's just the stigma brought about by bad publicity from a close Philippine ally, the US, that Iraq has been pictured a villain. But in this video you can see the good heart of the people. I feel sorry for the wars that the people have gone through.

[@user-sw8xj7ke9j]

The Iraqi people are very generous and love everyone, but the government does not know a nation that knows interests, a people suffered from many wars, especially the American state You are very beautiful we love everyone

[@imalie849]

Omg 😭😘 how cute kindness people's are there in Iraq 😘🤗love from INDIA

[@cate-rf4dw]

Thanks we love india and indians too

[@MR.BOOM3779]

[@mattbrem3788]

This gives me a new perspective on Iraqi people. So warm and generous. Thank you so much for making this video!

[@IRAQ_2003]

هالانسان شكد طيب ومحبوب ومتربي يستحق الواحد ينطي كل شي مجانا بالعراق لان العراقيين اهل الغيره والكرم

[@abahsal-dafaai5697]

WOW, My family and I have watched all your Iraqi videos together, we enjoyed your interactions AND experiences with our people, amazed at how you've adapted so quick! I've visited Iraq over 10 times at over a month at each time, truly happy you've enjoyed it and showing a glimpse of Iraqi hospitality :). If you ever would like to visit again let me know, we have a vehicle we can tour you to karbala, najaf, samawa anytime! Great job and stay safe!

[@jhamdan2012]

Again you produce the best authentic vlogs in the world. That's a craft with Luke's signature.

[@LukeDamant]

That's what I always want to share with others 😁

[@kumeelnahi7028]

Luke, what a nice person, a big greeting from Baghdad🇮🇶

[@SpikyDane]

seems like a nice town and the people are friendly might visit some day

[@laithelia7416]

Such a nice natural walk Luke. I was really excited when you were looking for the phone case, I saw you passing the phone shop and started shouting look to your left...lol Haider was selling fermented Iraqi style of Ayran. It was so funny the way he reacts. If you allow me I can make very nice funny video of this conversation. Keep up the simple work
