Walking Around Baghdad at Night
Visit Iraq with me! www.dougbarnardtravel.com/trips
In this video, I'm exploring Old Baghdad, Iraq at night! Old Baghdad is the most historical part of the city, and it's home to the famous Mutanabbi Street. We'll try some local food (kubba), stop in at a couple famous cafes including Shabandar Cafe, and of course meet lots and lots of friendly Iraqi people.
My friend Osamah is one of the leaders of Iraqi Travellers Cafe, which is the absolute best resource for up-to-date information and advice on travel to Iraq. Check out Iraqi Travellers Cafe here: / 754425071626757

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.

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. 🤙🏻

@@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 ♥️

Wow, Iraq looks and seems really beautiful but the people more so.
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
