I'm Kurdish from northern Iraq but both of my surgeon parents did their medical studies and work experience rotations all over southern Iraq. Being an 80's baby, most of my childhood years in the 80's involved me visiting them in Baghdad, Samarra, Najaf, Karbala, Samawah and Baqubah. I've been lucky to live in the UK, Italy, Switzerland, France and Luxembourg, but I can never explain to you just how loving and welcoming the Arabs of southern Iraq are. My parents would be busy working in their clinics when I'd visit them and the locals who they were staying with would literally take care of me like I was their child. It now feels like it was a whole other time and place, such was the pure love, welcome and unadulterated care without expecting anything in return. I always felt so at home, and my dad still misses the years he spent in those communities. The Iran Iraq war is what changed everything. Division and suffering perpetrated and escalated through external meddling. We Kurds suffered a lot, but I'm still proud to call people all over Iraq my people.
لقد اجتمعت كل شياطين الانس والجن ضد هذا الشعب ليدمروا تلك الطيبة التي أوجدها الله تعالى في سكان هذه البلاد وقد اختارها أنبياء الله تعالى واولياءه مكانا لرسالتهم إلى البشرية في أن الإنسان هو خليفة الله تعالى من حيث الرحمة والشفقة والكرم واللطف والحلم وكل صفات الخير شكرا لانك ذكرتنا بتلك الايام
25:40 the restaurant owner is an absolute legend. Seeing you and azhar fight over who will pay the bill, he decided to take back the bill itself 😂 . Such a great guy ❤️
Another Aussie here, Iraq is one country I thought I would never want to visit, mainly due to media portrayal of the country. But wow, not what I expected and the people are exceptional, I'm sold on Iraq and hope to visit one day.
I'm Iraqi 24 years old but I'm in Germany since my childhood and the last time I was in Iraq Bagdad was In 2012 and it was the best vacation for me because the people are very friendly and the food was amazing and the activities were very fun there you should also visit Iraq brother you will get the visa very fast
I'm an Iraqi from Australia and recently visited Baghdad to see relatives -- can safely say it was an absolute blast! I really encourage you to visit Iraq one day, you'll love it.
Not going to lie, these videos of iraq etc have totally changed my perception of these countries. So refreshing to see honest unbiased everyday life and how generous and grateful iraqi people are. Class mate 👍
As a Pakistani Muslim I'm so happy to see you there in Iraq visiting one of the very most sacred and holy place for us. You are so lucky to get to be there and see it with your eyes. Many Muslims around the world especially in Pakistan wish heartily and pray that they could get to breath in that air and experience to touch the soil of najaf. I wish everyone could go there who wishes. I'm a fan your channel is addictive positively and I like your reviews you are so funny, honest and friendly. Such a bright soul and joyful. I wish the best life for you lots of love from Pakistan. Please come to Pakistan again and come to Lahore too..
What an interesting video, as a Palestinian I’m so proud of my lovely people in Iraq 🇮🇶 كل الحب والاحترام لاهلنا بالعراق اهل الاصل والكرم والنخوة اخوكم من فلسطين.
I can say Azhar is an example of a real Iraqi, it makes them proud to share his best with his guests. 💯 if you accept their invitation, you make them very happy. I've never seen such amazing place in the world.
Please do read about the historic event that happened to Imam Hussain. It is absolutely heart wrecking. Which is why this is the biggest holy gathering in the world.
Was in Najaf for 5 months in 05. Even then as the occupiers the people were so friendly and inviting. It was a pretty safe area then and we would just patrol around and stop and engage with the people and they were always so hospitable. I’ve always wanted to go back there and visit as a tourist. Still have friends from there I met back then that I still talk to every few years.
It’s so embarrassing to Azhar when you offered him money, it’s like someone gives you a gift and you are offering money to him, love your videos and Happy Australia Day 🇦🇺❤️
yeah I felt second hand embarrassment for him when je did that like as you compared very well, it is disrespectful to do that, and Luke should know to be smart enough not to do that when Azhar literally told him about the culture of offering foreigners everything...
I see how you’ve grown as a young man visiting these beautiful countries and experiences great hospitality from local and less fortunate people financially but still show visitors great love and great respect. From Wimbledon London
azhar was a gem! i’ve been waiting for this video, been following up with your Iraq series videos. visiting Najaf or Karbala will never disappoint, i hope to visit one day as my religious duty.
Wow this is eye opening, the medias indeed showing only the negative sides and brainwashing people about the reality of one, that's kinda sad. I am just glad that Luke can be able to show pure authenticity on his vlogs on his own willingness. 🇵🇭💖🇮🇶
As I belong to Shia Muslims Community , very happy to see in Holy place Najaf. Allah Almighty have awarded you with ziayarat(meaning visiting holy place) of Imam Ali (AS) ,The Lion Of Allah Almighty
My favourite guy to watch. He has sacrificed a lot for these videos to be uploaded. Its really cool to see you in my city Najaf. The name najaf came after the sea dried. It means dry land. The shrine of imam ali alayhi salam is always a pleasure to see. The people and their hospitality. Its really nice to see you walking on these streets. Najafs best place to visit is rawan street. I do highly recommend visiting karbala. Its known to be heaven on earth. Good luck bro. If you were with any iraqi friend they wouldnt let you pay. We like to host our invitations. That guy you met was awesome.
@@user-lz8ft7dg9k nice, but why always bring out the religion? If you come to our polynesian islands in South Pacific , you will be told we are nice welcoming people not that we have all the attributes of Christianity. Western people has been launching rockets and satellites for years, a progress for the whole world. Saudi Arabia sends a satellite (all western technology), they take it as a victory for muslim. Very peculiar.
Luke you are very kind person. I’m glad you are enjoying your trip in Iraq. As an Iraqi Iiving abroad I’m thankful to see my country through your channel!
Am your follower boy , because of you my perception in IRAQ seems changed a lot for good. Really wanted to see and travel there too ... STay safe always Luke !
I’ve been watching you videos since you went to Lebanon and now I come across this and I’m genuinely so amazed at how you’re willing to learn and visit these places. As a shia muslim I appreciate seeing this through your videos.
Azhar is such a great guy, so generous. Very impressed. I was shocked to see that the hotel receptionist wanted to hold on to your passport; that's ridiculous. Did they finally agree to give it back?
Dear brother, the passport stays with the employee is normal, the police call the hotel employees this time, and usually when I leave the hotel, even if this is Iraqi, they will take his passport or the identity of the country of Iraq in safety and the Iraqi people are generous and thank you Hello
Yesterday Nomac posted Hunza video and showed Lexus guest house and said "here my buddy Luke stayed" Luke Dement you are here everyday, Najaf has a very special place in all Muslims heart forever, Iraqi people deserve a salute for their hospitality even they have suffered very hard time.
Dude, although you are too young, but your vlogs are the best of the best. Direct reaction and authentic. You sometimes take risks just to reflect the reality of places you visit so your audience get to see it as real as it gets.
Take risks, is Iraq dangerous? I am Iraqi, and our country is safe. Do not be deceived by the American media, because America destroyed Iraq without humanity, brutally killed, and now the Americans say that Iraq is dangerous. It is funny. 😂
During the Ashura months, when visiting Karbala and Najaf, it is a remarkable and unparalleled experience to witness the provision of free services to the public, including food and hospitality, for the entire duration of the holy commemoration of Imam Hussain's death. This extraordinary display of generosity is truly a unique and awe-inspiring phenomenon, unlike anything found elsewhere in the world.
Good on you mate you realy shows the good sid of Iraq that others can understand the reality I wish I can go there one day I am stock in australia been more thane 25 years never visit my lovely country iraq but it's allways inside heart .
1:12 The only reason, Luke, is that a great Arab man named Ali bin Abi Talib, whoever is buried near him, will enter his intercession on the Day of Judgment. 😊❤
Your passport is the most important document you have when you travel , never ever leave it with anyone as you can't go far without it and if lost can cause a huge range of problems including lost or delayed travel plans out of the country . I have experienced the same situation , a few times where the person behind the hotel reception counter wants to keep it when I arrived instead of returning it as soon as it is photo copied . They have told me that they want to look at my travel history which is none of their business , it is not safe leaving it with someone as it could disappear of the counter when the receptionist is called away from the counter if not locked up . Also if you leave your passport with the hotel and the stay has problems , you are stranded there until the passport is returned or found .
I agree, NEVER leave your passport with the hotel staff. The hotel makes photocopy, keeps the photocopy and returns the passport to the owner/hotel guest.
yes i travel before to jordn i give my passport to the hotel next day in morning i asked for my passport to leave to my flight back home they told me can't find it
Passports are “ISSUED” in the name of the person holding the document. This means by law (my understanding) in the case of Australia this Federal document is meant to be HELD by the official name issued it to. Ring your local embassy immediately if ever asked to do what Luke Damant was asked. Possibly language barrier or local Country law, but just check.
Omg najaf is the most beautiful and peaceful city my eyes have ever seen. It is the city of HAZRAT IMAM ALI(AS). The students around shrine and universities and the atmosphere in shrine and around it is so peaceful and you wont get that peace anywhere in the world.
في السابق كنت أعتقد العراقيين وقحين وقليلين أدب, لكن بكل أمانة بعد مشاهدة أكثر من سائح, اتضحلي أنهم شعب محترم و كريم و أصيل, ما أعرف هل لأنهم أجانب يعاملونهم بشكل جيد, ولكن كل المقاطع مشرفة, عكس مصر شيء مخجل ومسيء, تحياتي للعراق. I was surprised how generous and friendly Iraqis were, I hope you had good time. Maybe you need to visit Al Ahwar and ear Maskoof fish.

أزهر زلمة معدل
عفية خوية
Yesterday Nomac posted Hunza video and showed Lexus guest house and said "here my buddy Luke stayed" Luke Dement you are here everyday, Najaf has a very special place in all Muslims heart forever, Iraqi people deserve a salute for their hospitality even they have suffered very hard time.
Omg❤ i like this

Subscribed you as I saw your video about Najaf. I'm a proud Shia Muslim. Love from Pakistan ❤️💯
تحيه طيبه لكم من بغداد
😍 Outstanding vlog. Thanks Luke for bringing the real Iraq to us. ❤️
Dude, although you are too young, but your vlogs are the best of the best. Direct reaction and authentic. You sometimes take risks just to reflect the reality of places you visit so your audience get to see it as real as it gets.
Take risks, is Iraq dangerous? I am Iraqi, and our country is safe. Do not be deceived by the American media, because America destroyed Iraq without humanity, brutally killed, and now the Americans say that Iraq is dangerous. It is funny. 😂
I'm from Najaf, thank you Luke for visiting the holy city❤❤❤❤.
ازهر يحجي انكليزي بس بلهجة عراقية😂😂ربي يحفضة ويوفقهم
I love how Luke boends in everywhere he goes just by being himself!! Big love and respect 🫡🏆🏆🏆🏆
During the Ashura months, when visiting Karbala and Najaf, it is a remarkable and unparalleled experience to witness the provision of free services to the public, including food and hospitality, for the entire duration of the holy commemoration of Imam Hussain's death. This extraordinary display of generosity is truly a unique and awe-inspiring phenomenon, unlike anything found elsewhere in the world.
رفعت راس أبن البصره
Wow, Najaf also looks so damn good. I really liked hospitality in the restaurant. Especially Azhar is the great guy. 👍
وينهم ذاك اليوم اللي يكولون أهل البصره ميجون انكليزي وي السواح ولازم يتعلمون !!

1:12 The only reason, Luke, is that a great Arab man named Ali bin Abi Talib, whoever is buried near him, will enter his intercession on the Day of Judgment. 😊❤
Where ever you meet Muslims they are too kind ❤
اهلا بك في العراق 🇮🇶🇮🇶
Wow azhar amazing ,now I wish to go there , love from Jordan , iraq in our hearts...
Your passport is the most important document you have when you travel , never ever leave it with anyone as you can't go far without it and if lost can cause a huge range of problems including lost or delayed travel plans out of the country .
I have experienced the same situation , a few times where the person behind the hotel reception counter wants to keep it when I arrived instead of returning it as soon as it is photo copied .
They have told me that they want to look at my travel history which is none of their business , it is not safe leaving it with someone as it could disappear of the counter when the receptionist is called away from the counter if not locked up .
Also if you leave your passport with the hotel and the stay has problems , you are stranded there until the passport is returned or found .
I agree, NEVER leave your passport with the hotel staff. The hotel makes photocopy, keeps the photocopy and returns the passport to the owner/hotel guest.
yes i travel before to jordn i give my passport to the hotel next day in morning i asked for my passport to leave to my flight back home they told me can't find it
Passports are “ISSUED” in the name of the person holding the document. This means by law (my understanding) in the case of Australia this Federal document is meant to be HELD by the official name issued it to. Ring your local embassy immediately if ever asked to do what Luke Damant was asked. Possibly language barrier or local Country law, but just check.
Iraq is a safe country my dear brother no need for fear
Azhar a legend. Even after what the west did to the country.... they still treat western people with kindness.
He seems gau

Australia not western but you are right
@@allawee1991 It is.
@@lukaellach9264 not location wise at least
سبحان الله شوف الله سخرله واحد عراقي يحجي انكليزي الله مصلي علئ محمد وعلى أله محمد
صح والله
You're Lucky that you went there in Najaf City, I hope I will also go one-day for ZIARAT😭😢
Having your Janazah salat (final prayers) at Imam Ali mosque, what an honor 🤲
Omg najaf is the most beautiful and peaceful city my eyes have ever seen. It is the city of HAZRAT IMAM ALI(AS). The students around shrine and universities and the atmosphere in shrine and around it is so peaceful and you wont get that peace anywhere in the world.
في السابق كنت أعتقد العراقيين وقحين وقليلين أدب, لكن بكل أمانة بعد مشاهدة أكثر من سائح, اتضحلي أنهم شعب محترم و كريم و أصيل, ما أعرف هل لأنهم أجانب يعاملونهم بشكل جيد, ولكن كل المقاطع مشرفة, عكس مصر شيء مخجل ومسيء, تحياتي للعراق.
I was surprised how generous and friendly Iraqis were, I hope you had good time. Maybe you need to visit Al Ahwar and ear Maskoof fish.
ازهر حبيبي ابن البصره عاشت ايدك على ضيافته وودك وياه ونقل ثقافتنه وكرمنه اله ووللعالم الي يشوفون اهنيك حبيبي
