What Can $10 Get in BAGHDAD, IRAQ? (Insane Trip)

🙌 Thank you for making my videos possible through your support of JUST GO; my summer drop just went live, click the link above to grab yours!

WELCOME TO BAGHDAD, IRAQ!!! OMGGG I am so excited to share this video with you!! As someone who is going to every country (currently 194/197) -- Baghdad has been high on my list ever since I fell in love with Middle Eastern culture & hospitality back in 2015... It's hard to explain in words how happy I am here, especially because I have this unique opportunity to share REAL LIFE things happening on these streets. I can guarantee this is a Baghdad you've never heard about, or seen on the news.

In today's $10 episode, which is my 50th so far (!!!), I take you through the bustling markets and around the city to see how many things I could purchase for $10 USD (14,000 Iraqi Dinars). I hope you enjoy the journey in Baghdad!

[waqasbadar]

Wow, I DID NOT expect Baghdad to be this beautiful.

Damn you Hollywood!

[zinanaeem]

As Iraqi living aboard I feel very proud to be born in this country. Baghdad used to be one of the most beautiful capitals in the entire world! Sadly wars ruined everything 😢 hopefully one day Iraq will shine again.

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! 🙏

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!

Being a kid born and brought up in Kuwait, this video just reminded me so much of home. Everything from the language to the food was so nostalgic. So yup always a reminder that we're all just one. Thank you drew.

[altairal-nahrain]

Iraqi people have suffered so much from wars and battles that all they want is peace and host foreigners with extreme generosity. Even if they have so little, they would give all they have to please their guests. Long Live Iraq and Iraqi people from Syria!

Diego looks like he could be Iraqi himself!

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.
