I Found My True Love In Baghdad Iraq 🇮🇶

- Опубликовано: 2 авг 2024
- Today we ate masgouf, Iraq's national dish in North Baghdad.
Yep we ate wood smoked carp right on the banks of the tigris river.
Our good friend Abbas brought us to his family's favourite restaurant in Adamiyah, Baghdad and it did not let us down!
Probably one of the greatest grilled fish we've ever eaten hands down.
We then headed to a spot up on the river where we played domino's and drank lots of Iraqi tea.
Cheers Abbas 🙏
Iraq's national dish is bloody top 🇮🇶

Iraqi masgouf has gotta be some of the world's greatest grilled fish, what do you reckon? 🇮🇶
If you enjoyed please Like & Comment for the algo 🙏
It's a cultural thing and can get annoying, but while many people will refuse payment, you've got to basically fight to do it (3x minimum). It's just what you do... Also, don't show too much interest in peoples stuff because they'll offer it to you even if they don't actually want you to take it! Took me awhile to adjust.
Love your videos, still sad you didn't make it to Oaxaca city. Maybe one day!
@@adamp1440 Yeah we always offer a few times, we've learnt to read who means it and who doesn't. As guests most of the time in our experience they actually want to gift us the things though and won't take money.
بنضري كعراقيه الاكل العراقي جميل ومتنوع
فعلا المسكوف هو الافضل
Of course the best and my favorite food
Very exciting to see more Iraqi people traditional life style in general ❤
I think you will like the series 🙏❤️
vanakkam Ellis and Mrs Ellis & hai to Abbas the Great....Fish dining place very nice....nandri
Thanks my friend
Masgoof absolute taste... Welcome to cradle of civilizations... 🇮🇶❤️🏴
Best grilled fish ever
I have learned more about Iraq watching your videos than i did my whole time there. Baghdad looks similar to Amman Jordan, if ever in Jordan let me know. 😊 enjoy your journey.
Maybe! We will definitely be visiting more middle Eastern countries we are loving it here, very much our type of places 🙏
نحن نحضر الاسماك بلفرن اكثر ولكن السمك المشوي ع الحطب هوه الافضل ❤
Its. Sooo good
I ❤ the sidewalk very unique handmade cobble stones 👌
Everyone is welcome here in Iraq .. you’ll find real generosity and hospitality.
A comment for those who always ask about whether Iraq is safe or not: travelling is for the brave, not for the coward. You have seen the videos of globe trotters here in this channel or elsewhere. Iraq is just like any other country, full of history and traditions as well as hospitable locals like Abbas. Once you visit Iraq, you’ll find another time to pay a revisit cuz you won’t be able to experience everything in one single trip.
Already can't wait to return and visit all the places we haven't been. I mean it when I say Iraqi people are the kindest we've met on our travels, we feel family here.
Don't understand why everybody thinks it is extremely dangerous either, big western cities feel dodgy whereas here like I said were looked after well 🙏🇮🇶
@@EllisWR اعتقد ان هناك من يستفادمن تضليل صورة العراق الحقيقية
Abbas such a quiet and good looking kid. Hope he is well awarded for taking you guys around safe.
I don't understand Mary! Abbas is our friend we are not paying him! If we tried to do that he'd be extremely upset they don't do that here 🙏
@@EllisWR yes, we don't like this, We like when take our tourist to places without them paying 🤍
@@EllisWRyes that's right, we don't like to reserve money from our guests ❤❤ hope you guys a happy journey
Abbas has shown you true kindness 😊 good lad
كل العراق امن بإستثناء الصحراء الغربية توجد عمليات عسكرية لطرد تنظيم داعش
Abbas Legend, this combo hits hard man, do more videos like this 👍
He's class ain't he aha!
@@EllisWR For Real...!
I hope you loved Iraq and the heart of Iraq, beautiful Baghdad, because we always love to see visitors in our streets.
Abbas good looking chill dude. He reminds me of an actor.
He looks like actor Naveen Andrews, who played Saeed Jarrah in the series The Lost
Top lad he is!
he's soooo chill, someone needs to check his pulse
Welcome ! We loved you ; my friend you are nice. I advise you to go to tigris village in Baghdad. It is a beautiful place and there are also quiet places in northern iraq if you. have enough time to go there

Hey my friend how are you!
@@EllisWR Good mate...
If you guys are still in Baghdad, you should try (Tarshana) it’s good sweet. pretty much like jam except you eat it hot not cold. Have fun guys!!
نرحب بكم في العراق
طبعا بعد زيارتكم للعراق نظرتكم للعراق اكيد تغيرت لان ما يقال في وسائل الاعلام ان العراق بلد غير آمن و لا يمكن للزوار التجوال فيه. العراق تغير كثيرا في الأونة الأخيرة و الأكل العراقي أطيب اكل في العالم. تحياتي لكم و زيارة موفقة
والله اتمنى ازور العراق مهد الحضارة لكن ما يبث عنه في وسائل الاعلام شيء فظيع جدا. الله يحفظكم تحياتي من عاشقة لبلاد الرافدين. من المغرب❤❤❤❤
انا من العراق.
@@lisare3250 تشرفت بك lisa
Welcome to Iraq. I hope you will come to the city of Basra in southern Iraq. We'll be lucky to have you there.❤
Next trip! ❤️
@@EllisWR
Nice , 👍👍
The fruit that you guys ate is called wild jujube it's a very popular fruit in Iraq. there are several types of it.The best type is the one from Basrah southern Iraq. When I was a kid back in the 90s me and my friends used to leave the school to go and pick up some of these little fruits to snack on them. The one you ate is not ripe though you need to eat the ripe version of it to experience the full real flavor.I left my home country in 2007 and I miss it a lot. Enjoy your stay in Iraq and take care of yourselves 🙏
Thanks so much for sharing we appreciate you watching. Your country is beautiful
Glad you beat me to it mate !! They are a staple in Korea also !!
@@cheeba4114 Will have to try the Korean ones on a future trip!
@cheeba4114 wow I didn't know that they existed in Korea too, I have only seen them in Iraq where I was born
Abbas really good guy , I liked him and all of you are amazing believe me ❤
He's a top man
I loved the food you ate tonight. Looked gorgeous!
It was beautiful that fish!
Beautiful country. ..beautiful video...❤❤❤
🙏❤️
أهلا وسهلا بك في العراق 🇮🇶

@@aslinabokaslinabok3518
والله ما أعرف بس إذا ماكو تگدر تسافر للسعوديه أو تركيا أو أيران و بعدها إلى العراق و حياك الله أنته وكل أهلنا في المغرب .
@@user-pw1pw7co3i شكرا على الإجابة اخي الأمر سهل جدا بين المغرب الى تركيا بدون فيزا. ...لكن هل بإمكاني الحصول على فيزا من تركيا لدخول العراق ؟
@@aslinabokaslinabok3518
العفو أخي .نعم عن طريق السفاره العراقيه بتركيا
Amazing!
19:15 Looool i can't, the guy said- It's in front of you, take it- meaning his mustache.
First talking about cow balls. Now finding true love. You're the craziest tourist I've ever seen lol
What's next I wonder...
This guy 😊 Abbas is an absolute legend
8:00 In today's local news, weird man harasses a carp in broad daylight. The carp is traumatized and is currently undergoing therapy.
Ahaha carp has PTSD now of white men with mullets
😂😂❤
Welcome to Iraq 🇮🇶 I hope you will apply to Basra.

Thanks!
You have nice trip guy enjoy Iraqi delicious food5
Thanks so much

Thanks 🙏
Welcome to iraq Go to the city of Sulaymaniyah. It is close to you, about an hour in the car. It has mountains, valleys, plains, and green land with amazing nature, and then go to Dohuk has an amazing nature that you will not find in the world
I suggest you to visit karbala , najaf and Babylon
Alot of historical and religious places there
Maybe next trip we go south!

I’ve never been very fond of seafood, but i can never say no to masgouf 😋
As an Iraqian who lives in Tikrit,Baghdad is one of the most beautiful capitals among all the middle east,don’t mean hate to them i love them all.
Thanks
Thanks so much! We really appreciate that have a super day!
What about your flight - direct from Colombo to Baghdad ? Or Colombo-Istanbul-Baghdad
Colombo - sharjah - Baghdad £300!
I am an Iraqi American and I tell you with confidence if you just tell any Iraqi, Kurdish or Arabic you don’t have a lodge they would invite you to their homes and offer accommodation and food for free! Our nation is the most hospitable and most generous among the world’s nations man! I you’ve just FOUR subscriptions from us!
Welcome to Iraq 🇮🇶
❤❤ you guys are so welcome to our country. Hope you enjoy have great times while staying and we hope you stay longer and always come back to your second home. We hope you liked Iraq 🇮🇶 ❤

I hope you come back and visit Iraq again and come to Karbala province because you did not visit it 😢❤❤❤

@@EllisWR Thx💫🩶
I think the fruit is jujubee. It doesn't seem like palm date but more like Asian jujubee bcs it's a bit dry and sour.
iraq iran Syria all are nice countries also food cultures amazing. but American spoil the countries. love you iraq . from srilanka. Nice vedieo bro njoy tc safe
Spoil most of the world really don't they
سبب دمار العراق هو ايران وامريكا

He is a legend
@@EllisWRWow very cool 💐✨
I am mad at you, why you didn't visit my city.
I live in Mosul /Iraq. Good maskof.
And make yourself at home ♥️✌️😊
you have not watched my channel go have a look!!
@@EllisWR hahaha, I have just seen it but still now I am mad at you because I haven't seen you 😂😢♥️✌️
Why not cook that fish for lunch? I was waiting for it.😊
What?!
Hi 👋 Ellis and Alicia hi 👋
Hey!!
Loving this journey into Iraq! So is Abbas a fixer that needs to chaperone you to be safe or is he a friend you met in your travels elsewhere? Interested to know the story behind him.
Noo he's not a fixer just a genuine friend we met online when looking for somewhere to stay in Baghdad over Eid! Was crazy expensive and sold out everywhere.
Rest of the whole trip we are solo but it was nice to make a good new friend he's a top bloke.
You'll see throughout the videos it's lovely here people look after you extremely well feels safer than anywhere back in Europe tbh
Love it, we’re seeing such a different side to what we get in the western media
@@gregg1152 Honestly wait until we post some of these videos. These people take hospitality to a different level you are like family here as a stranger
@@gregg1152
We are happy when tourists come. We do not like to exploit them, but rather we like to welcome them, take care of them, and help them as much as possible. Do not believe the media, we are good people and we love foreigners،
يامرحبا بيك بل عراق
Try street food in Baghdad ❤
What to try? Stay tuned
Iraq is just like England just little different it doesn’t snow there😢
Snow falls only in northern Iraq
Ahaha I dunno about that!
Welcome in Iraq 🔥🤍
Thanks!!
