Baghdad, Iraq ➖ After arriving in Baghdad last night at 1am, it was time to explore this beautiful city and see what it's all about! My friend @worldnomac and I grabbed a taxi off the street and headed downtown to a beautiful cafe to fuel up with some coffee and shisha. After that we went into a local market and bought a few items, finally finishing off with a fresh juice on the side of the street.

@@LukeSmithXD he Also said to his friends that his with Americans because he didn’t understand the guy is from Australia
@@Bossen04 ohh thanks for the translation!
Left Iraq when i was 18, im 32 now and this vid broght so much joy to my day. Seen how cool my country looks now is just amazing. Enjoy my friend, my ppl are kind, lovely and generous. Ps. That taxi driver is hilarious, he was saying everything is good with life. I guess chilling with you guys made him happy lol. I have a very large family in Baghdad, if you need any help, please reach out and i'll make sure they show you around.
Why do you keep listening to the media man
We are all one as people, it’s only our leaders who don’t see it this way. One love
Can a Hindu indian go to Iraq?
@@praksjha3166 lool there are alot already. Actually mainly from Bangladesh
But in Bsarah they work with oil companies
What is really sweet is that while you were taking selfies with buddies from Iraq 15:24, the store sign behind you says "FRIENDSHIP"

I do a lot of solo travelling, often my only talk is with my taxi driver, if we can understand each other. They are the best people to know, they give advise and have great local knowledge. When you travel, you never need a tourist office, just a good taxi driver. All the people you met were super friendly and helpful, Baghdad in a flourish fresh city with amazing kind people. بغداد الجميلة
Iraqi people seem so friendly to foreigners who visit their country. If the whole world was really like this, and there was no hate, scams, crimes, or drugs, We would live a better life. I have had many Patients from Iraq who live here in the USA, and they all try so hard to show their appreciating for our care to them. They bought us so much fruits and the children would just hug us. They asked me how do they say this in English, how do they say that. They taught me Arabic. It was really nice. I play so much with the Iraqi patients we get in the hospital in Pediatric ❤️🤍💙.
As you said - definitely like nothing the media portrays. thank you for going and showing us all. what a beautiful country and amazing people!
30:59 - the guy said “your lunch is on me” the Iraqis are generous even amongst themselves 😭
am so proud to be iraqi and as you see the Iraqi people so kind so pullet with the tourist And thank you luke for visiting my country and showing the world that iraq safe and how kind and generous the Iraqi people
🤣😂
U stay in iraq ? Bcause im go in december
Getting amazing vibes from Iraq! Looks like a really cool spot
More freedom than Australia.
It's not cool. They showed the nice parts of Baghdad. I have been working in Baghdad and Iraq for 8 years, while its better than it was 4 years ago, these kids are dumb
@@MUNYEAcriticise their government just a little bit and you will experience their true freedom 😂
You guys are amazing, thank you for showing the good side of Iraq, when mac videos was showing , I always waited for your videos to be posted.
I recently discovered this channel and, like many here, I find your approach to travel very entertaining. It's a genuine experience. I appreciate that you learned a few words and give each place an honest chance despite the media portrayal. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Keep it up lukey your killing it love watching your videos . Keep em coming. Much love from your hometown sydney
Ive been to Iraq, Syria, and Turkey. Iraq has the least amount of scammers and hustlers. Hardly any. Alot of locals will offer you free stuff when they know youre a guest in the country.
Great video! just want to point out that in Lebanon you say "Kifak?" and "Mneh" but in Iraq, you say "Schlonek?" and "Zen/Hamdullah".
*in Iraq:-* *1_Shlonk?👉🏻 How are you?* *2_Shako mako?👉🏻 What's up?*
Dude thats true
In Lebanon they say al hamdullah too
@@Ibrahim-Ali85 ye in pretty much every Muslim country
@@4li8 I also hate the fact that they pretend like they don’t say it (Lebanese)
Welcome to Iraq, I hope it was a pleasant trip🇮🇶💚
You are from iraq??

Iraq is seriously the coolest country! Iraqis are seriously the coolest, sweetest most loving most in the world! They love and accept everyone and will give you and let you have whatever you want seriously. Even when Saddam Hussein was president they were the coolest most loving and sweetest people and the country was cool and beyond wonderful

Love you Luke I live in Baghdad this tour was so close to my home unfortunately I didn’t meet you there ): I wish next time see you there ❤️🌹
great video!! one of my dreams is to visit Iraq
I recommend taking the time to explore some of the key and intriguing sites in Baghdad. They offer a unique experience especially for those captivated by culture and history. The first stop on your tour should be the renowned Iraqi National Museum - you're bound to appreciate it. Following that, the Baghdadi Museum.
you're brave for going into the capital....great vlog anyway :)
Nice video l love it welcome to iraq🇮🇶💚
Thank you, Luke, for coming to Iraq. Iraq welcomes you. You are a nice and wonderful person
Great job guys!! Your videos are enjoyable
the taxi driver was so nice he also asked your youtube channel
Hey Luke! I like it your energy when you talk to people 😃 good vibes 🤣
Welcome 😍 to Baghdad bro
Them Coffees look amazing from the sounds of it they tasted Moorish too!!!
Your videos are positive energy. Keep going 3:31 AM.
Much love to you habibi, yalla bena we wish to enjoyed your time how you did find Iraq ?
Great video LUKE enjoyed it :) from England UK
I hope you will visit Iraq too
Everything is possible even in the darkest times, if you are just determined.
Welcome in Iraq 🇮🇶 big fan ❤
the driver said everything is good here with our BRO
Dang bro I was working there downstairs where you bought the shoes now am in germany since 2014 what a memories you brought me back
☡المفروض تاخذ مترجم اذا تريد تتجول في العراق ...لان صعبه التعامل مع البعض. ...
Verry nice place enjoying take care bro love you from India
Hi Luke i like your videos keep it up take care.... Watching from Philippines...
We are honored by your visit to Baghdad, come to us again😍💗💗
I hope one day I will come to iraq🥰
Kiss and hugs
Great effort to travelling
Man who sold you the shoes didn’t lie to you and say they were real, he told you they were fake. Iraqi people are literally the most honest people, and that’s why you don’t see too many wealthy and successful Iraqi billionaires. In order to be wealthy, you have to be ruthless and a good manipulator, and the Iraqi people are not that.
Nice video thanx🌹
what a lovely country with wonderful people.
19:41 اعتق قطه صح ؟ انا بتركيا اشكال يمي احذيه سعرها ما يوصل 8 الاف وماركة تمشي وياك عمرهذا ب30 ادري شمشتري رب الحلو
Luv ya Luke lots of love and hugs ❤ ❤
