Watch Out for This if You Visit Iraq

This happened to us twice tonight, and has happened countless times in Iraq and throughout the Middle East! Definitely gotta watch out for this 😜

The generosity and hospitality of people in the Middle East is unmatched! We are so inspired by the kindness of everyone we have met in Iraq.

This video was inspired by something we saw on YouTube Shorts, but we can't find the video now to tag them. If you come across it please let us know!

I have interacted with so many people from Iraq online and they’re some of the kindest people I have ever met.

Okay, as a Kurd who was in Sulaymaniyah the most, and as a teenage girl.
I will have to say watch out for kidnappings and getting scammed.
Some areas are beautiful and the food is actually so fkn amazing.
But sometimes people take extra money from you so you most of the time have to negotiate, and bringing a man with you (say he is your husband, brother or father) is an extremely good precaution.
I’m not saying there aren’t good people, but there are definitely scammers and dangerous ones too.

But it might be different for complete tourists but good luck communicating😭

Ngl you look local with that abaya until you start speaking 😂

[madewithrealdiamonds]

you gave them the money anyway, because these people are living in poverty, and the exchange rate means that you are spending pennies in USD/CAN, correct?

Then why they didn't give us their oil
