Thank you, Drew! Really nice coverage on Baghdad, and really fun to watch! As an Iraqi, I just wanted to comment on the part about what was described as the "Blue Onion Monument", it's official name is "Al-Shaheed Monument" which translates from Arabic as "The Martyrs Monument". The style of the blue domes was inspired by an Abbasid-era design, just for future reference :) Thank you again!
@@flutingaround Because the monument was built in memory of the fallen and lost soldiers in the Iran-Iraq war. Given that the current government became pro-Shia/pro-Iran, this historical place was closed off to the public to make people forget about the heroes of the war fought against Iran.
I’ve been to Baghdad two times in 2017 and 2018. It was not what I expected! The iraqi people were all so kind and hospitable, the food was out of this world but the weather was too hot for me in the summer! I wish Iraq will see a better future and this beautiful country can flourish again ❤️ ps. I love your videos Drew! 🙏

This makes me so happy. As someone that has Syrian heritage. To constantly see the beauty, the kindness of the people in which you don’t get to see in the media. That makes me so emotional and gives me so much hope for the future generations. I hope one day to be able to visit these beautiful cities in countries like Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan etc.

As Israeli Jew, who's both parents were born in Iraq, this video got me so emotional. I am excited to see not only the sites in Baghdad, but mainly the people. Their kindness and generosity, the food that is so familiar to me, to hear the Iraqi language that my ear is so used to since my childhood. I heard so many stories from my parents and family about Iraq. I grew up on those stories and always had to imagine the scenery. So many stories of joy and nostalgic. They always said they had very good life and felt safe and welcome there (except of the Farhud, the pogrom against the Jews which occurred due to the Nazi propaganda). The generation that was born in Iraq and came to Israel, never stopped missing their homeland. They keep preserving their Iraqi culture, songs and heritage, which they are very proud of. It is hard to believe, but even me, I see you and I feel home... I wish I could visit you, see you, hug you and tell you how much I love you.
Always wanted to visit Baghdad,growing up in Sarajevo,back then former Yugoslavia met many Iraqi students who we were so friendly,spontaneous and soulful people. Big hug to all !!
Fascinating watching this. My Dad visited Baghdad in the 70s for work and had a couple of stories about it. Can't help wondering which parts of the city he saw.
Allah=God is Lord Jesus Christ (Yahushua Hama Shiach) He knows Abraham and He keeps his word. Abraham saw His day from heaven and he was glad. Jesus is I AM=Yahweh=Yehovah. Jesus says Before Abraham was born, I AM! When He was asked if He knew Abraham.

Iraq is such a underrated country... No one thinks about the busy and vibrate markets there..... Everyone just thinks about War, Sadam Hussein, and Bush
It is beautiful! Probably my best trip ever was to Baghdad in 2017. So interesting, historical and people were super hospitable! I would love to go again 🇮🇶
This is insane, I can’t believe he’s just casually walking around Bagdad. Love it, great video and really loved seeing what it looks like through the video. Thanks Drew!
My friend... Baghdad is inhabited by 8 million people. Do you think we are in a jungle... Baghdad has development, commercial centers, the center of the government and foreign embassies... Baghdad is a crowded city
@@YOOY2009 I’m aware that there is a civilization there and I did not imply otherwise. It’s surprising because we never hear about foreigners casually travelling there so it’s cool to see. My comment is not offensive
I can't keep watching with eyes full of tears. This is amazing. I was born in Baghdad n lived though 5 wars but I LOVE every inch of this land n it's people.
Thank you Drew for showing us Baghdad! I absolutely love how you & anyone who joins you on your travels explore the cities in such a wholesome manner - you cover everything from the food to the locals - it's always such a pleasure to check out these cities from your perspective.
I thought the same. Even his clothing style and his hairstyle look very Iraqi. In fact even Drew could be seen as Iraqi because there is one city where many people are ginger. Most of these people have moved to Baghdad over the years.
One of the most historic cities in the world, so lovely. Right there up with Rome, Athens etc It's a shame what happened to it, I, as an Indian, sincerely hope that Baghdad regains it's lost status and becomes its former self

When I see how beautiful Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan can be I think that it is so sad that they are unsafe because if they were safe as Europe I am sure they would have a tons of tourists.
One good thing about these countries not having much tourists is that people are less likely to scam you. Still it's unfortunate how Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Pakistan etc. are portrayed in Western media.
@@residentauditofficer2166 hey hey hey man do you really think iraq is a war zone ??? It is just some part of iraq is having some problems like how you have in Kashmiri part ..
Going to Baghdad is one of my big dreams. Sadly it probably won't happen anytime soon so thanks for the amazing insights! Great to see the tradition but also modern aspects aswell like the restaurant with it's people.
@@basicallyomer3833 I don't think that, it's just hard for me to picture life when I never been there and there aren't much sources to get a glimpse of modern day Baghdad
@@basicallyomer3833 I understand your frustration but I also can't blame western media. My family owns a apartment in Sharm El Sheikh and I've been to Cairo various times where I witnessed two different bomb attacks. Of course I'm hesitant to travel to Baghdad now. I imagine Baghdad to be pretty similar to Cairo and I saw both modern aspects and also deeply conservative parts. I saw brutal poverty aswell.
Usually I play a video and go down to read the comments but this time I was too excited. Made some Iraqi tea, plugged in my headphones and watched in full screen 😂 amazing series Drew! Welcome to Mesopotamia 🇮🇶 ❤️ and much love to everybody watching around the world 🌍
Thank you for sending these clips. But I felt very sad to see Baghdad and Samra in this condition. They were light of knowledge to the world in the past.
the music in the beginning is indian.. not iraqi at all LOLOL but i super appreciate these videos! this is my home and im grateful you went through all this trouble to help me remember my home and be inspired to pay a trip once more after leaving and staying away for 13 years!
Wow that's impressive because it is one of the first visits to Baghdad of a western vlogger, i haven't seen a travel vlog from this city before! I hope soon more and more people from around the world will be able to explore this historic city 🤗❤️
I am happy because there is someone who visited my country and showed the beautiful side of it other than what the media and the news say in general. Thank you. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am very happy that there is someone who shows a beautiful side. I know that the word “thank you” is few for you No thanks ❤️🥺🥺🥺
Dont be sad you are living in heaven my biggest dream is to visit iraq at least once before dying we love iraq because of the holy cities Najaf Karbala samara Baghdad and many more love from🇵🇰
Awesome video as always drew. Having been subbed to you for the last 3-4 years is such a treat and a decision i'll never regret. Glad to see you showing off beautiful baghdad. Such a fascinating and historical city.
Thank you so much for showing us a city we will probably never get to see. As an Israeli, I know many Iraqi dishes because of the many Iraqi Jews. Did you manage to see Kube dumpling soup in Baghdad? Kuba is amazing!! :)
Drew, I am new to your channel. I can’t begin to explain how wonderful it is to see Iraq! Excellent job! I have, my entire life, going up in Georgia-USA., wanted to visit Iraq. BEAUTIFUL! Thank you! 👍🏻🌈
Looking forward to more videos in Iraq! I wish I had the connections to get a visa and go there myself, but this allows me to at least live vicariously through you.
Bro that food looked so good. Can u pls make a vid with all the best food you've eaten in the Middle East, bc tbh it's the best food in the world (after Asian food)
That’s just a snack. Iraqi food is more than that. This type of food is usually eaten for dinner or when the person is tired of eating heavy food. Iraqi kebab is the best and in fact Iraq could be the birthplace of kebab.
You should’ve went inside the al shaheed monument i went a couple months ago it was so nice, showed a bunch of statues and all the trauma Iraq has been thru, it was beautiful and painful at the same time
Thank you so much for going to iraq I’m actually from iraq and from the city of Baghdad your the first traveler to go to iraq and make a video about it so I appreciate it
💖 I LOVE that you help us to see this beautiful country and have a neutral and varied viewpoint of a place that in most people's minds is war torn ghettos and the people, gangsters and murderers. As with every place in the world, it has it's bad parts and people.... but, the general population is generally friendly, welcoming and hospitable just like the rest of us. Blessings to Iraq and thank you Drew!! AWESOME VIDEOS, DYING FOR MORE!!! 💖
I had tears the whole time. I was born in Baghdad and left when I was 3 years old. I don’t even have words to let you know how excited I’ve been to watch this. I just want to know how they live now, and you’re so good at executing that’s exact thing

hi
Thanks for your Video Drew you make me travel around the world by watching you☺️ Take Care from Philippines 🇵🇭
hands down one of your best videos. Keep up the great Work Drew. Much Love from Jordan. Baghdad is such a beauty. Much Love to all Iraqi Brothers.
11:51 huge change of environment in such a short time
One of my favourite series!
Thanks! Me too!
1:46 an normal iraqi guy who watches drew binsky casually just glimpsed him watchinv this video:
Damn what did i do
That’s what I was saying 😂
Exactly, but weird from Drew there
Hahahahaha
Looks suspected
Going to Baghdad is one of my big dreams. Sadly it probably won't happen anytime soon so thanks for the amazing insights!
Great to see the tradition but also modern aspects aswell like the restaurant with it's people.
Bro ofc I don't know why do u think that we live in caves😂😂😂
@@basicallyomer3833 I don't think that, it's just hard for me to picture life when I never been there and there aren't much sources to get a glimpse of modern day Baghdad
@@TwistedHigh Yea I can't blame u bcuz the western media is showing Baghdad like hell
th-cam.com/video/_OXebmXrkyU/w-d-xo.html
This is 2021 baghdad
@@basicallyomer3833 I understand your frustration but I also can't blame western media. My family owns a apartment in Sharm El Sheikh and I've been to Cairo various times where I witnessed two different bomb attacks. Of course I'm hesitant to travel to Baghdad now.
I imagine Baghdad to be pretty similar to Cairo and I saw both modern aspects and also deeply conservative parts. I saw brutal poverty aswell.
I didn't know Baghdad is this beautiful...happy to see you again Drew!
All my deployments to Iraq. The people have always been welcoming.. made some great friendships.
its crazy how much drew grew, with the editing and amazing content. keep up this great work and showing us the outside world!!!
I agree 100%
@Matt Gaez this is a scammer dont listen to him
Usually I play a video and go down to read the comments but this time I was too excited. Made some Iraqi tea, plugged in my headphones and watched in full screen 😂 amazing series Drew! Welcome to Mesopotamia 🇮🇶 ❤️ and much love to everybody watching around the world 🌍
Thank you for sending these clips. But I felt very sad to see Baghdad and Samra in this condition. They were light of knowledge to the world in the past.
the music in the beginning is indian.. not iraqi at all LOLOL but i super appreciate these videos! this is my home and im grateful you went through all this trouble to help me remember my home and be inspired to pay a trip once more after leaving and staying away for 13 years!
Peace to all Iraqi brothers and sisters. Hopefully I'll get to visit someday
ان شاء الله سوف نسعد لميجئك😍
Love you from Finland 🇫🇮 I’m also Traveller new I’m in Kashmir India 🇮🇳

Wow that's impressive because it is one of the first visits to Baghdad of a western vlogger, i haven't seen a travel vlog from this city before! I hope soon more and more people from around the world will be able to explore this historic city 🤗❤️
I am happy because there is someone who visited my country and showed the beautiful side of it other than what the media and the news say in general. Thank you. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am very happy that there is someone who shows a beautiful side. I know that the word “thank you” is few for you No thanks ❤️🥺🥺🥺

تحية من دولة الكويت الى العراق 🇮🇶❤️🇰🇼

@Pinned by Drew Binsky stfu bot
in Iraq when we want to describe how bad a person is we point to him as a snake
love that guy lmao
@Justin Y. At the same time ISIS Came to kill us and we fight them and we won in 2018 🇮🇶🥳
Great country, great culture, great ppl. Greetings from Serbia
🇮🇶🤝🇷🇸
Love from iraq❤🇮🇶
Soundtrack, narration, editing on point. You never disappoint Drew.
Yea I thought u said u always disappoint but thankfully it's not tho
Thanks!!!
Ehh the soundtrack was kind of Indian tbh
What a lovely people, even the police man offers a tea as a kind of hospitality.
Thankyou Drew, for reminding us all that 'Life Is Great'.! I needed that.
Awesome video as always drew. Having been subbed to you for the last 3-4 years is such a treat and a decision i'll never regret.
Glad to see you showing off beautiful baghdad. Such a fascinating and historical city.
Wonderful I missed this segment on your channel and it’s fantastic!!! I love it ❤️❤️❤️
@Pinned by Drew Binsky wtf is wrong with you?????
Much love from Palestine 🇵🇸 we hope nothing but the best you’re way
🇮🇶 🇵🇸❤️❤️
🇮🇳❤🇵🇸❤🇮🇶
Thank you so much for showing us a city we will probably never get to see. As an Israeli, I know many Iraqi dishes because of the many Iraqi Jews. Did you manage to see Kube dumpling soup in Baghdad? Kuba is amazing!! :)
Your friend could definitley pass as Iraqi! I love seeing every culture being properly represented in your videos, mashallah
Wow, this city is cool. Thank you Drew Binsky for this Wholesome Content.
Keep travelling and showcasing the whole world to us. 💚🙏🏻
Drew, I am new to your channel. I can’t begin to explain how wonderful it is to see Iraq! Excellent job! I have, my entire life, going up in Georgia-USA., wanted to visit Iraq. BEAUTIFUL! Thank you! 👍🏻🌈
🏳🌈👉😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@عليمعالحقوالحقمععلي313 There's no reason to laugh here, mainly when the guy didn't even mean that.
Looking forward to more videos in Iraq! I wish I had the connections to get a visa and go there myself, but this allows me to at least live vicariously through you.
Hope someday i can visit to Baghdad... ❤️ From Malaysia..
Seriously this is just amazing and thrilling i wish I could visit all the countries. may Allah bless you. love from india
I wounded what 10$ could get for you in North Korea and Syria these days?Greetings to everyone here in this great community 👋
North Korea the tourists have their own prices, but there’s an amazing video of a Russian dude who took the train in, and got into secret shops
@@amazingabby25 link?
@@smasha4265 +
Smasha yea link wanna see that vid
$10 in North Korea coming soon!
Bro that food looked so good. Can u pls make a vid with all the best food you've eaten in the Middle East, bc tbh it's the best food in the world (after Asian food)
That looks awful, u need to try afghan food
That’s just a snack. Iraqi food is more than that. This type of food is usually eaten for dinner or when the person is tired of eating heavy food. Iraqi kebab is the best and in fact Iraq could be the birthplace of kebab.
@the honk KID it's actually pretty cool that everyone has a different nationality here in the comments, btw love Syria and its food
@the honk KID in which city do you live?
@@minonasri3730 ur food is literally persian
You should’ve went inside the al shaheed monument i went a couple months ago it was so nice, showed a bunch of statues and all the trauma Iraq has been thru, it was beautiful and painful at the same time
1:45 random guy looks at Drew when he says "Random attacks & kidnappings"
I would love to go back to baghdad and see what normal everyday life is like there!
Thanks for another awesome video, Drew. Love the longer ones. Have a great day!
Thank you!
im in baghdad iraq right now im glad you like your experience!
@Luke D ofc you can! But I don’t know any… but I’m pretty sure there is
@Luke D theres one search gus1thego baghdad video on youtube he gave contact for a tour guide
@Luke D no problem check the commnets for it and if you still can't find it tell me
@Luke D search on Facebook for a group called Iraqi travelers Cafe.
They will help you out.
Thank you so much for going to iraq I’m actually from iraq and from the city of Baghdad your the first traveler to go to iraq and make a video about it so I appreciate it
💖 I LOVE that you help us to see this beautiful country and have a neutral and varied viewpoint of a place that in most people's minds is war torn ghettos and the people, gangsters and murderers. As with every place in the world, it has it's bad parts and people.... but, the general population is generally friendly, welcoming and hospitable just like the rest of us. Blessings to Iraq and thank you Drew!! AWESOME VIDEOS, DYING FOR MORE!!! 💖
Love Iraq from Pakistan 🇵🇰❤️
The guy with the gun and a chai is awesome
Hey drew i just want to say thank you for giving everyone every country a chance no matter what the history of it was
this is so much lovely to see 10-dollars videos you made. i think this is the best video of any kind
I had tears the whole time. I was born in Baghdad and left when I was 3 years old. I don’t even have words to let you know how excited I’ve been to watch this. I just want to know how they live now, and you’re so good at executing that’s exact thing
