I’m currently reading the book Generation Kill about the 2003 invasion of Iraq which also was about 20 years ago at the time of this comment and just wanted to see what Baghdad looked like today and I’m actually really surprised what it’s like. Hopefully this country can recover and prosper after all it’s been through.
Wow, the people are so nice, and I really liked seeing all the little shops and tea room etc. Baghdad looks a very interesting city. Thanks for the upload. I get to travel the world via your videos. 😊
Thank you Doug for all your videos, Iam Iraqi live in Canada your videos not just reflect the lovely side of Iraq its actually helped alot of Iraqi live in foreign countries to see their beloved hometown Baghdad , 🌷
Dude, I have seen a lot of videos of vlogers who come to Iraq. Yours are one of the most interesting and authentic. It reflects your humble and good nature. Thank you Doug.
👍🏻💗Hello America, we love you very much. You are the best people. I am from Iraq. I hope you will travel again. We love you. We wish you a happy life. ❤
Love and respect for the creativity of Iraqian people, such a peaceful place, May Allah protect them they have exported many things to Kashmir and other parts of the world as well,Huge respect from KASHMIR ❤
I just found your channel yesterday. Your videos of Baghdad really hit a spot for me. I was there for a year in 2005 to 2006 during the war. Despite all the bad that comes with war, I have fond memories of the people I met and worked with and have cried over Iraqis I knew that have died because of the insurgents. I’m glad things are doing better there and that people are starting to visit. Lord willing, maybe I’ll get a chance to visit and have a bit of closure regarding my past time there. Thanks for showing all this. 🤙🏻
Eu aqui do Brasil assistindo este video que me encantou como queria está aí em Bagdá pra encontrar um amigo Alexei saudações à todos daqui do Brasil muito lindo Bagdá! I love salamaleikum
Hey, I'm someone that doesn't really travel. In what ways would you say it's changed since 2008? Does it look more modernized, less war zone like? Just curious friend.
@@crystalwater505 I will talk about change because I am Iraqi. Meaning, sectarianism has ended and wars have diminished. Now Iraq is coming back with strength. It is colonizing and becoming better. Better than before. Now it is safe and the Iraqi people are known for their generosity. When you come to Iraq, they do not allow you to pay money. They are generous people and do not allow the guest to pay money. Sorry because there is a lot of talk, but it is not possible. Description of Iraq ♥️
Thank you very much for conveying the bright side to Iraq and Baghdad. You are really a person who deserves all respect and appreciation. Iraq is your second country. You are welcome any time you want.
Hi Doug, this is JAY from San Diego, California , I was born in Baghdad, and left it 44 yeas ago to the US… I went back to visit on October 12, and just got back to SD a week ago. I was in Al Moutanabi St. and Al Shabender and took the boat ride too 2 weeks ago and I love ❤️ it , and brought a lot of memories 👍 thank you for going there and make videos 👍👍👍♥️
Doug, you are such a nice human being, friendly, and always have a smile on your face and that's why lots of people actually like you and interact with you! Enjoy your stay and be safe.
You arrive to baghdad go to motanaby street and just explore 😅 people are hospitable and nice in general .. hopefully tourism increases there and everything goes fine :)
I saw you yesterday in a vision that you speak Arabic fluently and your mother knows it, God willing, you will be in Islam as long as you love the language of the Qur’an.
A new subscriber here 😊 I really enjoyed your vlog I'm Iraqi living abroad I haven't seen Baghdad in more than 14 years this is just amazing and btw you're so sweet the nicest American that's been to Iraq so far 🤍
Hello family. I got to say, it was in large part to Doug that a little under a year ago I made the decision to head to Iraq. I will confirm that Iraqi travelers café is a great place to make connections. I just threw it out there that it was interested in going to Iraq. I also posted my photo. Not long after, a number of people leaned in and offer their services. As luck would have it, An Iraqi that lived in my part of the United States came forward. Ended up staying with their family. Have amazing memories that will last a lifetime. Was great to walk the very streets that Doug is showing in this video. Great to see that the street has been finished up. Of course the remainder of bagdad is very much rustic..lol And for all my LGBTQ folks. I never had any negative experiences. Of course it’s don’t ask don’t tell!
@@IraqieGirl541 oh yes, I did get taken to a amusement park which is close by to a central shopping area that had a mall. That being said, being from California, a place that nearly invented the concept of a mall, I tend to avoid malls lol. Would be wonderful to see a lot of those old architecturally significant commercial structures in old Baghdad get restored. we could certainly do a mall back in California, but what we can never replicate is the beautiful old architecture in Baghdad
Rather, good luck, my love, and I hope that you visit the rest of the provinces, and Iraq is not like what he said about it in the media, and that Iraq is a beautiful country, kind, generous, kind, and an ordeal for visitors and tourists, and it is safe for them to see Iraq through channels
@@Gabriel-pt6tq its not safe for americans as terrorist organizations often kidnap cacusian americans and kill them cause they think they have to retaliate
You are an American, how many Iraqis have you killed? Do you know that Iraq is now living in poverty in a war because of you? You say Iraq has weapons of mass destruction. You lied. You made sectarianism in Iraq.
You probably got the translation from Osama but for the viewers, the family that looked like they were super exited said in arabic that they recognise him and they were shocked to see him there and would love a phote. They young boy said he is a subscriber. Peace and love❤️I love seeing videos from Mutanabi street
Welcome to Deklis in Iraq. You are a respectable person. This is a wonderful job. You are conveying to the world the good image of the Iraqi people. Indeed, you are a wonderful person.
But your country, America, did the right thing when it liberated Iraq from the oppression of the criminal tyrant Saddam. We thank the United States for bringing democracy and freedom to my country, Iraq.
