when i google iraq i see
travel advice tells me do not travel to iraq
this is my friend muhammad he is kurdish and he lives in a northern part of iraq how would
you describe the life in kurdistan the place that i can actually live forever because it's
a place that you can get everything easily it's a place that you can have an amazing social life
so why should i visit kurdistan why is it worth visiting usually people travel for two reasons
first to see a modern cities in the world and then there is the other historical cities that
people would like to visit but an amazing nature amazing mountains canyons waterfalls
amazing and in terms of safety so how is there actually safety there and especially for girls
also people doesn't really know about which is in 2018 kirby was the fifth safest city in the
whole world anytime you can go out anytime you can go out after midnight walking alone
no one will care about that thank you yeah that was amazing i thought that it's gonna be dangerous
so do most of the people when i tell people that i i'm in iraq they say they they get goosebumps from
even hearing the name but i was curious what is kurdistan white is the biggest nation that
doesn't have its own country what happened here and what's happening in iraq since i was born
i only heard bad things about iraq so i came here to explore and to find out the truth to
talk to people to see what's going on here with my own eyes to have my own experience
and let me give you a little spoiler this is the best place i've been to i'm having
my best experience welcome to iraqi kurdistan welcome to iraq so we're going to hike into
the mountains and sour to see the sunset and the view to iraq hopefully we can catch the sun too
we made it to the top of the mountain or top of the hill whatever you can call it here in the hook
right there is an amazing view of the city i'm here to talk about people and about stories
and people are just great they're so hospitable they're so nice so kind
yeah so let's say something you have to say something to my subscribers

you will everybody will see them and they are very great and they are adorable you know very
nice to meet you very nice to meet you our new iraqi friend from baghdad so see you
it's like everywhere i go every step i make i need this wonderful people and i'm so grateful for that
and while people are staying in their bubbles in their homes in their villages families
and they tend to have only one direction opinion they can't see things from the other side because
they listen to the media to what other people say and why they are standing in that bubble of fear
and hatred to other cultures and religions they miss out to the most valuable things
in this world the most valuable thing you can get from traveling is meeting new great peoples
have fun have a great time thank you so

you would get curious and want to visit cordysta welcome to citadel it's the oldest uh
habited citadel in the world so we only have one road that we can explore we cannot
go deep in places it's actually short it was like five minutes walk it's beautiful no question
about that but because they only gave you one small road in the middle and like all beautiful
ancient things you can't enter so right now we asked and we sneaked into this forbidden place
right here they're filming a movie we're going to the forbidden third yeah we cannot go off and
be involved but our friend asked person who works here to bring us here to show us a little bit more
the government keeping them just to say that okay that's the old oldest citadel inhabited
in the world the guy like told so many amazing things actually about the city left
i didn't even know about it he said the people on this were saying that the city
is like 6 000 years old but he said like we found so many things that's
way way before that it's how everything started this is the view of the whole city of airvale or
this traditional gorgeous hat next one is orange you want it yeah let's just buy a little bit
we just arrived to semi abdurahman park it's the biggest park in hilaire why everyone is
running in this park because it's really cold here i can't believe it was like
so hot during the day around 35 and right now it feels like 12 or maybe even five i don't
know i haven't felt so cold in a while can you believe it gorgeous people also have some of our
and it's even cold some of our but this is traditional russian and slavic way of making
tea and boiling water and i'm truly shocked to see it here because this is also kurdish traditional
way of making tea and how how is that possible like where is russia where is kurdistan and
how the history work that they have the same name for the same thing for the same purpose
some of our traditional russian things wow so i wish after watching this video
