Tourists from all over the world have begun to come to Iraq after it became a safe country. I am truly happy and I tell you that the Iraqi people are all happy after we finally emerged from wars and chaos and began to build our destroyed country from scratch. These moments are among the happiest days that Iraqis live. Currently, the urban development and projects that are currently taking place are very large, and we expect that in 2025, Iraq will be one of the leading and developed countries 💖 Welcome to your country, Iraq. We love everyone
I shed a tear reading this , im an iraqi born outside and was living in iraq during 2006-2008 in Baghdad it was daily bombings . Havent been there for ages my father lives in Baghdad i will go this year for sure !!!! Big hugs from argentina where i currently reside
As an Iraqi, I always hated the trash sites, the worn out buildings, and even the little saiba (the yellow car) I suppose it's because i'm used to it. Yet, through the eyes of a foreigner, especially in a very inspiring way, made me for the first time realize that beauty exists abundantly, EVERYWHERE. I truly thank you for this beautiful content, everything are well put together, the music, the photography, the editing and specially your perspective of the world, such a unique and talented insight. ps: I freaking love japan and I hope one day to visit it
There’s something even only Iraqis know the wars won’t stop the European and American refuse to let Iraq advance and let Iraq become modern every time Iraq tried to do that they started a war or bombings I don’t know how the heck but that’s how it is and for Syria it just seems like they want it wiped so much people are suffering there.
Two things: 1. Chug the Pepsi, finish it off, return the bottle to them so they can recycle it. 2. In Arab cultures, it is always considered polite to accept eating with those who invite you, you might also make great friends who can help you discover the city and be there in case you need help. 3. Iraqi's are very friendly and hospitably like many other Arabs, they are a very social culture and very curious people.
The media is biased and false most of the time when its about the middle east the best way to know the people just reach out and talk to them greetings from iraq ❤
Of course, they worship tourists and kiss the ground they walk on, and if youre a woman youd get the special treatment of catcalling and being followed around.
I search Iraq on Google and most of the top results are 2015 pictures when ISIS took over Mosul that resulted in massive migration to Baghdad, Abril and other states. Yup, definitely biased.
Yes, my friend, it is unfortunate to hear that the Western media has distorted the image of our country 🇮🇶🙄 In addition, this spectral person only photographs the old and poor areas of Baghdad, while there are more modern areas and cities. We love you very much, welcome to Iraq 🇮🇶❤️
As a fellow iraqi photographer i was really pleased to see this ! Seeing my country through such a creative lens is a nice experience. I hope you enjoyed staying here
At first it seems super hostile to walk through unknown streets, as a foreigner, I don't know what you felt but that's what street photography is about. I love this video because it shows a little about what the people are like there, their culture, friendliness, etc.
😂Wow, my school was close to where you filmed, but I did not have the opportunity to meet you. It will be a nice interview because I understand English a little. You are welcome in Iraq at any time, and frankly, it is a beautiful video that you are showing the world a beautiful picture of Iraq and the kindness in it. Greetings, Amir. ❤❤
I am so very happy to see more tourism to Iraq, i currently live in Baghdad and i love the fact that more people are seeing Iraq for the country it is and not a hellscape full of gang violence and shady people. Im happy you had a good experience here.
Out of all the ancient sites the cradle of civilization monuments from Babylon, Nineveh, ur, zirrgut , eurpthes river Tigre’s Abraham birthplace, marshes . But you decided to take pics of a dumpster ??
Hi @Kohki Yamaguchi, I am from Iraq but living outside, Thanks for showing this positive side of my country I know the media showed the bad things only for long time, If you still in Iraq try to visit the southern areas like Marshes & Zaqurah, Also try to visit Basrah
Sorry for so much staring, we don't see much visitors and we don't see many people from other races, I think through out my life I only saw 7 black people and 3 Asians, Indians are a bit more common to see but seriously we will stare cuz it's phenomenal to know there are visitors esp if it's clear you are a tourist cuz "who came for tourism in here for God sake". Also we are not too familiar with people filming streets, even local bloggers mostly don't do that, it's for respecting people's privacy but don't worry we won't be pissed at all. btw so many people are still living in these old buildings, they are even pricey in places like Karadah
⚠️⚠️⚠️🔴🔴🔴 As an Iraqi citizen living in Baghdad, when I saw the waste in the video! I was very sad! Although I loved the arrival and visit of foreigners to my country, Iraq Therefore, I advise everyone who wants to come to Iraq / Baghdad There is another side to the city, a cleaner and more refined side. I hope you will visit it Yes, every city has a negative and positive side But I hope to focus on the positives in the future Another tip from a photographer, the camera is a very important element The size of the lens and screen increases the enjoyment of photography and the acceptance of passers-by when they hear the sound of the camera shutter and the large size of the lens. Try that
Welcome to Iraq. I wish you could come to northern Iraq, to my city of Mosul, the city of prophets, antiquities, and the Assyrian civilization. I liked the video, Khastak. I am also a photographer from the city of Mosul. We Iraqis welcome all visitors coming for the purpose of tourism. My greetings to you.
@@Taqi142 This is absolutely not true, and the evidence for my words is now that the citizens of Mosul live in peace. Mosul is a beautiful and very ancient city with religious and cultural diversity.
Wow, so amazing to do street photography in Iraq 🇮🇶. Initially I would have been a bit apprehensive because of all the wars and stories of potential trouble, but I’m so glad it worked out well and the people were so nice. I guess people everywhere are generally nice but a few rotten apples may also exist.
The Iraqi people are very kind, respectful and intelligent. The British and American occupation destroyed Iraq and made it a gloomy country. The Gulf countries support terrorism, especially Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Bahrain and even Jordan. All the explosions in Baghdad are caused by Saudis, Palestinians and Jordanians. Iraq is the country of ancient Sumerian, Assyrian, Babylonian and Akkadian civilizations. It is the country of science and culture. But now, thank God, Iraq has begun to recover and is making progress and development.

This is the first time I watch this type of video by a foreign RUclipsr. I have never seen a photographer photographing the streets of Baghdad. I wish you a happy trip and I wait for you to come to Holy Karbala.
You should go to the university in baghdad. It also exist in Al-Jadria. The place there is actually a lot better, or you can visit the "Village of Dijlah" it exists in Al-Karradah.
bro you make my city look beautiful bro, when I walk down the streets if there’s any trees that’s the only thing I like, considering the amounts of garbage people throw everywhere, I’ve lived in England for 4 years and I know what others countries look like like (turkey, Scotland, England) I’ve been there my fathers been all around Europe tho, so he knows more.
There is so much more to see in iraq, a lot of beautiful and modern places and buildings, the place you visited is a bit old and crowded as well as dirty. I wish i had a chance to meet you and show you around other areas because I’m interested in seeing tourists in my country. If you ever visited iraq again please do let me know :)
To have such interested and welcoming interactions with your subjects is so great. Catching real moments with people who are earnestly willing to share their life with you is a dream for a photographer. My heart would be racing with excitement when the older boy asked to come inside and take more photos. Congrats on a great shoot day! The Iraqi people are so warm. What an interesting time to visit as they rebuild
As a Moroccan, I can attest that Arab people are renowned for their hospitality and generosity. While language barriers may pose challenges in communication, they often extend invitations to their homes for meals. and thank you for the video! I hope to visit Iraq one day too.
Nice video, I laughed in surprise as the small kids drove that thingi, meanwhile majority of adults don't know to to operate it. Nice mentality taking pictures of true things, such as empty spaces that you usually miss in Japan, not only fancy malls, garden and and natural scenery... What camera are you using, it does print the pictures, usually I would expect high quality camera to be like that, I love photography and videography, Nikon for photos and Canon and Sony for videos and photos, such as the A series and S series.. what camera do you recommend and lens specs for video graphy and photography, in all comditions including indoors and low light, nog so expensive between 1 to 5 thousand USD including the lens, memory and all...
I wish my city was a lot cleaner, but either way glad your experience wasn't too bad. Welcome! I hope in a few years there will be a lot more to see in Baghdad.
I organize tourist trips within Iraq using my own car and hold a valid driver's license. I engage in this activity as a preferred hobby for a modest fee, enjoying the opportunity to share the beauty and culture of Iraq with others. My home is located about 20 minutes from the ancient ruins of Babylon.
You can tell the citizens of Iraq were in so much pain if they were that welcoming right now (not to say they weren't nice years ago), starving for kind interactions and they seem grateful just for your existence. As an Aussie, I rarely get good interactions from street photography, not bad ones but not good either, these people were like "wait, you want to take a photo, OF ME? Yes please!"
It's very nice that people in Iraq are so kind! I always feel awkward when taking photos, because I'm worried that people will get angry at me for taking photos of them, same as you said in the beggining of the video
I appreciate your kind honesty about the trash in the streets, I won't deny that there are lots of careless Iraqis (rich and poor) who don't care about our environment, it's becoming an increasing problem that the current president wants to pass laws that financially punishes those offenders which I hope it becomes a reality before it's too late. Although their actions have absolutely no excuse but I believe Iraqis became this careless because of post 2003 (USA invasion) that led to terrible events from a civil war (shia vs sunnies) to t*rrorist invasion (ISIS) to government corruption. Although the new government sounds promising as they're doing many promising projects, such as recycling the trash into electrical energy and implementing the biggest solar power energy station in the middle east. As much as I'm critical of my own country and people I still want to be fair about them. But I'm disappointed that you only went to (semi) poor areas and mostly took pictures of the trash, Baghdad has many beautiful sights that i personally visited yet you seemed to intentionally go to unkown areas just like any misleading tourist content creator. My country is definitely not perfect but it went through a lot.
Bro, why do you go to the old street and film them as the street of Baghdad? Baghdad has so many beautiful places and streets you should just go there and film I don’t know if you just didn’t see these places or or you didn’t have a guide, but hopefully if you come next time you should find someone that lives in Iraq or at least search up the places so you can know where to go
Are you still in Baghdad? I'm 2 hours away and I'll be more than happy to meet you because I have been a subscriber since the 1 iii video lol, i am a photographer from iraq I'd love to meet you
This is important work! I'm sure it started out as just a trip, but the impact is so much more. A win for all parties involved: for the local Iraqis, yourself, and your audience. It's important to show the no-frills, mundane everyday life of a people, especially ones who have been under/misrepresented in media. And you don't normally get this view from more formal presentations (news, documentaries, etc.). What's WILD though was the kid operating the whole bulldozer, just amazing! Lastly, this video gave me similar vibes to what I felt just walking around an inaka in Japan that one time.
I went to school at the same time the Iraq war started kicking off and we eventually welcomed a few Iraqi kids who had come over as refugees with their families. Even with a bit of a language barrier, I will always remember the stories they would tell about their home and it has stuck with me to this day. I'd love to come and visit one day, maybe take a film 35mm and a Mamiya 7ii since I think these streets will come alive with film.
Never thought the day that Iraq became calmed again, still having cautious optimism though. Maybe when I'm finally having courage to solo travel, it could be the one place I go😂
If America, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the Emirates left Iraq, our country would become safe and one of the best countries. Iraqis are very friendly and intelligent. They are the sons of the first ancient civilizations in the world: Sumerian, Assyrian, Babylonian and Akkadian. The country of science, culture and arts. You can see that most of the doctors in Britain are Iraqis and most of the scientists and inventors in America are Iraqis. Iraqis, in any country they go to, develop it and become successful. You can see what Iraq did in Sweden and Austria.
bro I would recommend you to checkout 2 main and holy cities Najaf and Karbala in Iraq. These both are holy sites to visit for Shia Muslims although person of any religion cast or region is welcomed there and people treat you nice. I love your videos as I also love cinematography those POV shots and fun stuff about cameras.
What a pleasant experience! The people there are very friendly and kind. It’s hard to work past stigmas I’m happy you got to see the bright side of Iraq!

I am truly happy and I tell you that the Iraqi people are all happy after we finally emerged from wars and chaos and began to build our destroyed country from scratch.

The most dangerous thing to do in Iraq is to start a conversation because they will talk for hours 😂

Facts
As an Iraqi I can confirm
And we are considered one of the least talkative arabs.

And you don't normally get this view from more formal presentations (news, documentaries, etc.). What's WILD though was the kid operating the whole bulldozer, just amazing!
Lastly, this video gave me similar vibes to what I felt just walking around an inaka in Japan that one time.
you are amazing
لا حول ولا قوة الا بالله العلي العظيم بلاد المؤمنين ونعكس صورة عن وساختنا 💔

My guy walking around Baghdad and taking pictures with a Leica. That's, that's flex ngl.
All the countries have a bad side and poor places you didn’t show the beautiful side or the good side of Iraq
Even the poor places look good but I think he don’t know where the actual fancy places are
More yellow cars in this video than I have seem in decades.
Taxis for the most part.
Its Iranian made cars they are cheap so they are imported a lot to iraq
Iraqi people are nice
أهلا وسهلا بيك في العراق ❤
🌸🌸🌸🌸
This is just the best
Welcome ❤️ all to iraq ❤thanks
I went to school at the same time the Iraq war started kicking off and we eventually welcomed a few Iraqi kids who had come over as refugees with their families. Even with a bit of a language barrier, I will always remember the stories they would tell about their home and it has stuck with me to this day. I'd love to come and visit one day, maybe take a film 35mm and a Mamiya 7ii since I think these streets will come alive with film.
Never thought the day that Iraq became calmed again, still having cautious optimism though. Maybe when I'm finally having courage to solo travel, it could be the one place I go😂
If America, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the Emirates left Iraq, our country would become safe and one of the best countries. Iraqis are very friendly and intelligent. They are the sons of the first ancient civilizations in the world: Sumerian, Assyrian, Babylonian and Akkadian. The country of science, culture and arts. You can see that most of the doctors in Britain are Iraqis and most of the scientists and inventors in America are Iraqis. Iraqis, in any country they go to, develop it and become successful. You can see what Iraq did in Sweden and Austria.
Welcome to Iraq brother 😊😊
Welcome in my country , I like your video and I have question what camera do use ?
Welcome back king!
Thanks yo! Haha

Bro you got the wrong side of Baghdad

Love this series man! If you dnt mind, what lens did you attach on ur Leica there?
U showed Baghdad for what it really is I hope you will come to Iraq again to see different cities 💙 🇮🇶
شوكت يجي اليوم وتصير بغداد كلها ناطحات سحاب وشوارع حلوة ونظيفة 😔💔..
bro I would recommend you to checkout 2 main and holy cities Najaf and Karbala in Iraq. These both are holy sites to visit for Shia Muslims although person of any religion cast or region is welcomed there and people treat you nice. I love your videos as I also love cinematography those POV shots and fun stuff about cameras.
As an Iraqi living in Erbil, I’m surprised by the amount of trash on roads😮
Still in development hopefully things will get better with the new better educated generation greetings from nasiryiah in the south
What a pleasant experience! The people there are very friendly and kind. It’s hard to work past stigmas I’m happy you got to see the bright side of Iraq!
You gave this family some beautiful memories. That would make the whole trip worth it to me.
