I traveled to Iraq as a tourist. In episode 1 of my new series I fly into Baghdad and hit the streets and markets to get a feel for the city. In this video I try some delicious Iraqi food, hit some famous (and infamous) historical sites, and give you my first impressions of the country. Tune in next Wednesday when I'll be heading to a football match between Iraq and UAE.

Why don’t they promo your stuff on the main Barstool accounts?! Your travel vlogs are no lie a million times better than any others on RUclips. I think Don is the only one that truly captures the culture and atmosphere of the places he visits.
facts. instead thier ig is mid. should promote more on yak, stool scenes etc
yes he puts it in the context of a normal dude, not some self proclaimed travel guru.
Most people who consum barstool cant watch video thats 1minute longer
@@mikkejalonen9050 those were certainly all words
You think all the barstool frat boys want to see content that shows Iraq and China aren't awful places and they've been lied to, would go against all their politics. Imagine a pro-iraqi video on barstool main account haha the followers brains would melt
My senses were assaulted by the streets and markets of Baghdad (but in a good way). Tune in next Wednesday to see what a professional football (soccer) match is like in Iraq.
Can’t wait, Don - this was fabulous. The right mix of information, sensory description, and good ole’ original Don tourist lore. Tks man.
You should go see Syria. Drew Binsky liked it.
Great job my man.
Dude I’d cherish a Iraq bill how can I get one off you I watch everything you put out . I’ll send my address just tell me where to send it . Also another great vid ty for your work.
I recently read several articles that claim Iraq has been dealing with a Crystal Meth epidemic. I wonder if you'll see any signs of this during your trip. Keep up the great work WD. Really appreciate your intrepid travel vlogs.
There’s absolutely no reason Donnie should be releasing this stuff for Barstool. Get him a National Geographic show or something. This is so incredible.
with barstool he can go wherever he wants with nat geo he would have to go where they want him to go and do what they want him to do
If not natgeo someone else. It is absolutely inexcusable Barstool doesn't promote him better. He shouldn't be the "hidden gem" of Barstool when he cranks out the best content
@@blakestokes9917 i do agree he needs better promotion but atleast
he has the freedom that's huge
Donnie won’t leave, he will become bigger at Barstool
If I'm correct Barstool is valued in the 100's of millions. There is no shortage of opportunity and resources for this man to excel.
My Family is from Iraq, I am full blooded Assyrian from Mesopotamia. This gives me hope that someday i can see the Motherland. Thank you.
Me too
Me too :) a big wish to see the land of my assyrian family one day! 💜
Donnie puts out the best content at this company
He’s one of the better channels on RUclips in general.
As someone who deployed to Baghdad in 2008-2009 truly makes me happy seeing the city thriving. I hope I get to return to visit one day
you will be more than welcome to visit iraq again :)
Unfortunatley iraq is a bit done for
You fought a war of destruction and evil
@@Girtharmstrong69yeah because of usa and uk and Israel
@@aba6363 no, because iraq sucks
“You are welcome here” love it. The world isn’t how our leaders describe
Wait… so the government doesn’t tell the truth??
@@funnystuff9602 uh what?
No sorry my friend I was there. Saddam Hussein and his family was the weapons of mass destruction. the problem was George Bush tried to Change everything.... He fired the government the police.. And never stop the looting. That's when things went South
@@funnystuff9602 I don’t believe you. They use the metric system over there.
@@funnystuff9602 no wtf is even that dude quit watching Jew fake news
My first deployment was to Baghdad in 2005. Despite the low level insurgency still going on at the time (which would fluctuate up and down), I objectively enjoyed my time there working with the Iraqi people on the ground and getting to know a little of their culture, language and food. I remember being on the banks of the Euphrates and awestruck at how many civilizations came and went in that spot alone. I often said I wouldn't mind coming back in the future and be able to walk down the street as a just a civilian guest without my rifle and body armor.
Can't wait to see more of this series Donnie.
So excited for this series! Incredible look inside a place that gets a really bad wrap in the U.S.
Top tier Wonton Don narration as always. I could watch Donnie narrate himself watching paint dry and I would likely enjoy it.
Donnie is severely underrated, some of the best travel videos on the platform. Treats other cultures with respect, while having a great time doing it. Keep it up, man!
Thanks Nathan!
Thank you for giving us hope, Don. Knocking down walls of prejudice with each vid. Friendly people in Baghdad it seems, Ahmed was hella chill
That is why donnie is awesome.
Insisting on cigs inside is god tier hospitality, shout out to the Iraqis
Donny from someone who spent some time in Iraq under different circumstances thank you for putting this out!
Thank you for your service!
I spent years in Baghdad ...I was shot near that animal market ....I was there for that 07 bombing ...I know those roads & mahallas very well ....I always tell people that 95% of Iraqis were awesome loving kind people ....this was a great video to watch ....I'm glad they have come so far ....I'd love to see what Sadr City looks like now
Thanks for your service. You gave hope for freedom to these people
@LIZZYinTHECUT they’re living better now then they ever did…
@@Packman33 اعتدتم تكونون بلا كرامه
@@Packman33
you kidding right?
this one is a criminal
@@mesopotamia3458 I mean we fucked shit up but at the same time the country is totally different now in a good way…
Chinese Hoons are the strongest in the world, without a doubt. Donnie's vids keep getting better and better. I can't wait to see what else comes from this Iraq series, same time next week?
Yes sir
How much tar and nicotine is in them?
@@j-j1210 350
@@bsx132 lmao
nah, theres a south american tobacco plant, nicotiana rustica, that grows in the amazon has 8 times the nicotine that the regular tobacco plant, nicotiana tabacum, has. its what the aztecs and mayans smoked, and people still smoke it today.
Spent two years of my life there. Good to see it's starting to become safer as I would be interesting in going back at some point and seeing the places I wasn't allowed to visit before
Great tour Don. You are a envoy of good will from America. Such a important, and beautiful region. God Bless the good people of Iraq who have endured so much. 🇮🇶🇺🇸✌peace to all.
It really is kinda weird sometimes how funny and lighthearted this content can seem, that you have to take a second to step back and really appreciate the fact that these people are so marginalized in the international scope of things.... So to have someone shine a light on their culture and expose people to what life is really like there vs what you've been told in the news... That's really awesome! This is human history being told as accurately as it's ever been told, I can't thank you enough for making this content! This is incredibly important, that we bridge the gaps between cultures and bring people together!
it makes me glad to see the truth behind unexplained lies
Great clip. Greetings from Ireland, the Iraqis of Europe! :)
The cafe story hit home man, so sad but definitely resilient… the human race is amazing in its anger but also forgiveness. Great vid as always the great wonton Don
10:58 I hope that the Shabandar Cafe will be able to continue to serve its very important purpose.. Imagine growing up in the city of Baghdad as a free thinking person and finding this jewel of an cultural center.
This is legit journalism but in Donnie Does fashion :) Quite insightful, excited to watch the rest of the series. Salut to you Don and John for doing this, God speed!
Unbelievable. Like THE most incredible guerrilla footage imaginable. Your assessment of only knowing Iraq through the war and Saddam is spot on for the rest of us here as well. You should get like a Mark Twain award or a Nobel Peace Prize. For real.
Donnie does the best content on youtube, change my mind
no
Love seeing all these cultures with you Don. Just breaks my heart whenever I see all those animals in the sunlight in places like this/China.
I've heard so many good things about Baghdad as a very active city vacation scene. This is awesome to see!
I was in Baghdad in 05. Never in a million years would I thought what you did would’ve been possible lol.
Things have changed a lot Iraq especially after defeating ISIS in 2017
Same dude. I get nervous just seeing him walking around out in the open. Definitely not the case back in the early 2000s
Crazy what's possible when you don't show up with an assault rifle and an army
@@doritozman5419 lol facts
I was hurt to my core he didn’t smoke a Miami will downing a Wild tiger
died laughing at all the locals yelling "How are you!" good stuff wonton keep killing it
Story of the cafe is great. Good to seeing people in the world rebound after an unspeakable tragedy. People like you Donnie make sure we see the similarities in each other while also helping understand each other. Also providing some good laughs along the way!
Flawless production. That sweet bread and cream or whatever looked incredible, all the food there looks god-tier. 2014 flashback had me laughing pretty good lol
The cream is called Ghaymer in arabic.
Another amazing video, highly interesting to see the culture there after more than a decade of war. The people seem so friendly and welcoming towards tourists. Its heartbreaking that they had to go through an invasion & occupation for that long.
That Iraqi football jersey looks sleek!
iraq is very similar to mexico. Lot of marketplaces and very good food
Well, I'll be damned... Donnie Does it AGAIN!
Did not expect to put Iraq on destinations to visit. Great work as always Donnie!
This is like our homie went back discover Iraq. That is our badass boy. Iraqi cigarettes n drinks are great indeed
The way he does these are amazing. You honestly feel like you’re with him the entire time
Donnie never stops doing it!! Crushed it as all! And I’ve been to Baghdad 3 times, Wonderful people. Thanks for the great content that you and your team keeps putting out!!
It’s so cool to see your perspective, not what I would have expected, keep it up Don
So glad to see them recovering after the invasion.
Peacekeeping mission*
Lobby hoons!! Quintessential Iraq 😂 Great video man, so psyched to to see the rest
Thanks for highlighting the beautify people of Iraq. I was a few blocks away from that car bombing in the cafe in 2007…. It rocked the area.
Great start in Iraq Donny! What a resilient group of people. I wish them the best for the future. That breakfast looked awesome.
As an Iraqi I'm super excited for this! Hope it's a good experience for you :)
I was a "tourist" in Baghdad in 2005-2006. Wasn't nearly as fun as this looks, haha. It is great to see the other side of it, and the people acting like normal people, instead of being afraid of you, or hiding when they see you come around the corner. Keep up the great work, man!
Tourist in 2005 in the middle of invasion and international crimes?
@@botbeamer I was a soldier deployed to assist security forces in Baghdad....... that's why "tourist" was in quotes......
@@botbeamer he meant terrorist
Iraq has the nicest people and the culture is amazing. Looks safe too. Anyone traveling to baghdad soon?
Thank you very much
Welcome, my dear. Anytime, Iraq is your second country.
donnie bourdain strikes again, so good dude, love the mini history lessons in between
What a legend Donnie is, those wolf pups had me feeling sad in those tiny cages. But, you can't really do anything but laugh and keep it moving. The Iraqis are so adorable yelling out of the cars "Welcome" and just all naturally doing that without discussing it together beforehand. Very welcoming
Damn, I love this video. Thanks for showing us the not so famous touristic countries. Iraq definitiley is on my list.
its nice to know Iraq is doing ok
Lived in Russia for several years, can confirm that early morning wall-drilling is a worldwide phenomenon outside the US
My favorite traveling hoon hound, living out our dreams. You go, Don.
Indoor cigs, truly the land of the free over there
Donny has the best content in all of Barstool Sports. Really some of the best content on RUclips, period.
Sick vid even makes me wants to visit excited for next weeks video
Love the content Donnie ! Also, seems like you are attending more soccer games lately. Hope you get a chance to travel to Qatar and cover the World Cup as well !
Wow Donnie does it again with another masterpiece of a series coming up. Love your travel vids bro. Best content barstool has to offer by an Iraqi mile :)
Don and Bald are the best travel vloggers hands down.
While I was I Japan, the coolest person I met by far was an Iraqi. He told me all about his home and the stories were captivating. Made me realize how much of mainstream media is straight up manufactured BS. Stuff like this is so important. Keep up the awesome work, Donnie.
Only content I look forward to after a typical day in America. Truly love the experience in each video!
Don as an Iraqi American born and raised in Baghdad I thank you from the bottom of my heart for these eye opening to Americans about Iraq, thank you brother
To really blend in with the locals you need tracksuit bottoms paired with socks n sandals combo..
I'm pretty sure the Great Anthony Bourdain would've been a fan of your work Don.. Top Travel/Cultural Journalism pal.. 🌞👍
I’ve been following barstool for over a decade. This video, among many others Donnie does, are always top notch. Appreciate the quality
God bless the Don
I died laughing at the "Arabian Coach O" reference. +1 Subscriber
You’re really doing a great job Donny!!! Cheers to you and your crew that make this great content!! Keep it up dude!
This is absolutely incredible! It’s literally a dream of mine to visit Baghdad. Hopefully I get to soon
Nice look into the street life there. Seems to be thriving! Fun game: replay the video and drink a shot for every woman you see in the crowds, and see if you even get a buzz.
Always great to see Donny boy drinkin termies at the airport
Awesome work Don, love these videos!
Donnie blowing it out of the park as per usual! Cannot wait to see the rest. What was the best food you ate?
Absolutely incredible and so cool to give an insight into a place few have gone for tourism
Im so glad the wonton don is still going hard out here.
Donnie just seems like a cool dude. He pulls off wearing sunglasses all the time so well. Not an easy task.
Donnie and team at it again🤙
Love the guy at 12:32 punching a dart in the kebab shop lol
Very kind people there.
0:03 I love how the tone of your voice is as if you're getting on a flight to Akron, Ohio.
Drilling 07:10 in the morning is slacking, you start work at 07:00.
Also i worked in a cellar at some apartment building and about 09:00 some dude came down and asked us to stop because he was sleeping and he has an appointment later that he needs to be rested for. We just kinda looked at him and laughed and continued our work.
I love donnie. He shows no bias on the country, and goes there open minded, even if it is called iraq. Best american tourist by a million mile mark.
Donnie should be president of the u.s . I would vote for donnie!
Best travel vlogger, simple as that really
I’m glad you can show everybody how normal it is to live 🇮🇶..Thank you Donny 🐐🐐🐐
Your vlogs make me smile so much man. You always seem so open to try new things and have such a good humor and know where to find interesting things and people
Thanks Sebastian
@@TheWontonDon I am Sebastian
Goat shit as always Donnie. You’ve truly inspired me to travel to every destination i could possibly fathom, each vid spotlights just how awesome our entire planet is. The way you entrench yourself in so many of these different cultures with ease is awesome, cheers man
Gotta respect the grind of Iraq people practicing their English when they see you Donnie
After being in Iraq numerous time from 2003 to 2009 I enjoyed eating breakfast with gov leaders who provided cheese, bread and chai!!! The chai their was the best hands down!
Lol, crank like a dozen of these hoons. That always cracks me up.
Hell yeah the Don is back!
This video is so fun to watch, I think I like Baghdad a little more after watching this video! Thank you for sharing your life with us mate.
Thanks for all the content Donnie.
No offense to the guy you talked to about traveling to Iraq.. His content is a little too straight laced for me. How he has as many subs as he does is baffling. A great start to a much anticipated series
Donny doing my homeland right. Great stuff. Was born there but sadly haven't been back in 30 years :(. The people are resilient like you said and friendly.
If I remember correctly, this city has held an important place during the Islamic Golden Age, being the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate in this same era, and was also the largest city in the world at some point. It's cool that you're visiting such an important place in history.
Also holy shit all that food looks delicious
locals leaning out of their car windows as they speed by to say "WELCOME TO MY HOME!" is pretty cool
Best content on barstool bar none
Love this series, long live the don 🙏
Thank you so much Donnie, this video was awsome, take care of yourself, can't wait to the next one! good vibes from Argentina
Foreign hoon reviews need to be a thing.
Giving me old VICE news vibes man. Love it! way better than 99% of the tiktok influencer bullshit Barstool puts out.
