19:25 That kid with that beautiful innocent smile wanted to give you the coffee for free even though he most likely needs the money. It's so heart warming and tells you how beautiful the Iraqi people are! All the love to Iraq and you Doug from Lebanon :)

My heart is with you الله يحفظك@@shurito1sao

Can't believe a wartorn country can be so beautiful. Thanks Doug for showing us this beautiful part of the world.
thank you for watching! iraq is incredible
شكر لاك لان شكرته وترجمتله
Why is this racism? All countries are beautiful Also Only Iraq believes war (:
@@fatema1125 Only iraq not believe in war.... Iraq is a peaceful country calm n cool peace full people living in iraq
@@fatema1125 may be u hv wrong information about iraq
That little kid offering you tea for free is highlight n the courtsey of people over there is pretty awesome
@@mandydone3061 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
Yes, they do.
this is how our fathers raised us. the higher level of bravery to be generous.@DougBarnard thank you m you made little kid smile
You are spontaneously expressing sympathy for the martyrs and their families! 🥺🥺🥺 the way your eyes were filled with tears automatically made me cry.😢 suffering,grief.😭
Doug's honestly such a wonderful person , we don't know him personally but his reaction to the martyrs mother shows what kind of guy he is. That's why i think Doug genuinely has some go the best content out there, he's not just vlogging and making some tacky video for views but actually connecting with people and showing the other side of thing. I really enjoyed this video, keep up the great content man :)
thank you so so much 🙏🙏
Just returned from a trip to Iraq with my Wife. Such an incredible country, we were made so incredibly welcome.
The Baghdad to Basra train was such an adventure, loved it.
Anyone considering a trip should go, no security concerns and such an easy visa on arrival process.
Great to hear that
20:00 this beautiful kid he said God bless your parents or God forgive them . It's traditional Iraqi way to say thank you to people .🇮🇶❤
هذا صدك انسان الله منور قلبه وعقله ويعرف الحق حتى نزلت دموعه تلقائيا.⚘⚘🌹
منو؟
واخيرا
that little boy smile when you gave him the money melt my heart... thanks Doug god bless!
❤️❤️❤️
It's nice to see that this country is rebuilding and people can visit. I spent 3 tours there and I was hoping that some day people could come and see the many historical places.
Thank you so much Doug. I live in Salt Lake City, and I try to go back and visit my home country Iraq every couple of years, and every time I go and come back, my American co workers and friends ask me how it was, and I say “it’s like heaven” and they look at me like I’m crazy. They don’t know the amount of comfort that I feel, they don’t know how humble, hospitable, and generous the Iraqi people are. That’s why I’m so happy that you’re making these videos, because you’re showing the world the actual, real Iraq. You’re showing the side that I see and feel. And you’re showing it from your unbiased point of view, that just makes it much more real. So thank you very very much, and please come back again!
Thank you so much! I love Iraq :)
19:44 He is polite and nice is small and works hard made me cry
Yeah the same here that kid deserves a better life☹️
Most Iraqis are nice, but they are oppressed by the media
I love the coffe kid.He melts my heart and made me want to visit Iraq someday.
I wish him always be happy and healthy
Thanks Doug for sharing with us
20:02 look at the kids face when you told him to keep the change, you probably made his day💜💜
awww that little boy offering tea was so special . . .

You are showing the truth about Iraq 🇮🇶 more than the(🤬 fake )media. God bless you sir 🤲🏻💚
عندما ارى الشعب العراقي ارى حب بجنون لبلدة ولكن ما لا افهمه لماذا العراق مخترق من جميع دول العالم
as usual great one mate,,that mother who lost her son, you made me tears for seconds,,i felt with you the pain,,,Doug you are real human.
Could the best yet!!! Loved how truly emotional you were about the devastating situation with ISIS. So tragic.
Loved how you had a hit lunch on the hottest day yet! Haha
And the little boy who served you coffee was adorable.
Great job! Love you!
thank you dad, love you too!!

Minutes 7 & 8 had me in tears with you. 😢 I felt your sadness.
Awesome video!!!🤩
Thank you to all the Iraqi people for your kindness and warm welcome for Dougie!🥰
Thanks mom :)
@@9ys yes I really am Dougie’s Mom! I am super proud and absolutely adore him! 🥰 Thank you for your kind words. He truly is just what you see on his videos-kind, curious, polite, fun, smart, and thoughtful! Thank you again! 😊
@@chrissybarnard4607 God bless you, your son is amazing as well as his friends Jay and Janet, he came to Iraq with positive spirit and warm heart. I felt his emotions, sympathy and genuine personality. The series was on of my favorite on YT, of course I’m been biased but I have never seen my country introduced in a such honest way here.
You're really proud of him. He's a good, successful, likable and quick-witted man
Welcome to iraq
God bless you and your son we love peace and beautiful life and hate media lies and the news lies which says unlike truth
The kid who sells coffee while holding the toy in his hand just broke my heart ,God bless his heart ❤
The problem is not here. This child lives in a country with a sea of oil
@@viv6189 a country who just been in a war and most likely the people in control of it now don’t care about the people and want to get as much as they can . So the people are left to suffer.
Long live Iraq, the government and the people. Iraq Ali and Hussein, peace be upon them. Douglas, you cried for the martyrs of Iraq, you have more feelings than a million Arabs
true, those unloyal spoiled Arabs in the gulf forget about us in Yemen, Iraq, Palestine, Syria, etc. and they're here luxury living kissing America's feet
Are you a Bahraini ????
@@Tractionslayer
Why didn't you expect me to be from Iraq?
Doug I don't know what to say..every video is more beautiful than the one before it..you keep on fascinating me..your videos are amazing..you are really amazing.
thank you so so much!!!!
@@doug_barnard 💖🥰
Oh this is geeks!!!! “Hassan Salem” I think
As an Iraqi that has never visited my country seeing this melts my heart thank you so much for showing the real iraq, may Allah bless you
Felt so much safer than I ever did during my four visits to the USA.
Dear Doug, You're absolutely Amazing , thank you from the bottom of my heart for being real, everything is perfect in this video editing music people places history even your soul. Wish you the best with all respect and love..

Doug you are a very thoughtful and empathetic person! Round of applause to whoever raised you😇
Iraq and Syria have suffered a lot and have been subjected to the worst injustice, especially the Syrians. Thanks for talking about this topic on your channel. Many people are unaware of this حزينه جدا عاللي صار فيكم الله ينصركم ويرجع لكم الامن والامان والاستقرار😭😭😭
شكرا لأنك دائماً تضهر الجانب الأيجابي لوطننا🖤
Thank you for always showing the positive side of our country
Another heart-touching video. You have my gratitude

Thank you so much!!!

The besra have a lot beautiful places
A really thoughtful video. All these years I have felt so sad for the citizens of Iraq. A beautiful country where a lot of antiquities have been destroyed. Thank you for your Vlogs. Peace and Prayers.
انا من الجزائر و حقا الشعب العراقي شعب عضيم ❤❤❤❤❤❤ تحياتي للعراق
Thank you for visiting my country Iraq and your effort to show the positive side of it we love you so much💞😍😍😍😍
تستحق ان ارفع لك القبعه واستطيع ان اقول لقد دخلت قلوب العراقيين💕
انت تلبس قبعة ولا نعال ؟؟
It’s somehow like a “behind the scenes” video except it’s a travel video. There’s so much great humour in this too ✌️
thank you so much!!!
شكرا دوغ اضهرت عفويه العراقين وروحهم الجميله وانهم ناس مسالمين ليس كما يروج له المغرضين والحاقدين انت انسان راقي ولطيف اتمنى لك التوفيق
May God bless the souls of all the young martyrs that sacrificed their lives for us, and may He fill the hearts of those who long for their loved ones with patience. Had it not been for their sacrifices and the issued fatwa of Sayed Ali al-Sistani (May God prolong his life) in 2014, everything in this video wouldn't have been possible - tourists visiting, the smiles of people, or even the chirping birds in the morning. What you saw was only one mother who lost her son, there's hundreds and thousands of stories that haven't been told or shared on social platforms yet, and probably never will.
Thank you Doug for taking us with you along your journey and experience in our homeland. Glad to see you enjoying your time in Iraq :)
Thank you, Doug, for this beautiful video. It reall im bake me for five years of my past there after friends who lost their lives to defend the homeland.❤🙏
Such a nice kid trying to offer you the coffee. A young entrepreneur!!!
It takes a lot to not be poisoned by the consequences of war and still have a pure soul like these people here, I admire them!
So do i
You are really doing good things To show how iraq in real life peaceful place , keep going bro god bless you
This video made me feel sad and happy at the same time, I want to visit Iraq and learn about the culture of this amazing and interesting country!
Welcome in advance 💐💚💐 All the love and respect for you
You made me cry when I saw you affected by the martyr's mother..there are thousands of bereaved mothers in my country, widows and orphans, and above all that loss, they became poor.
Ooh i love that you are such a sensitive sweet hearted man😘❤️
I truly love how kind Doug is to kids and how compassionate he is to real moments
Douglas you need to visit Najaf, the father of imam hussain (imam Ali) is buried there and the place has a special taste too.
Imam Ali is famous with the say “A person is either your brother in faith, or your equal in humanity”
Appreciate your emotions Doug you have a great heart ❤️ thanks for visiting Iraqi and sharing our stories to the world 🌍
ننتضر 🤗🤗🤗🌷💞
20:06 this child is so nice 😊 lovely peace
We were honored by your visit. We are very happy to have you on the land of Iraq and we thank you for spreading a positive image about Iraq.❤️

Thanks Doug for sharing this video 👍. Brought back a lot of good memories being Iraqi from Basra migrated 31 years ago to Australia. It’s good to show how kind and friendly Iraqi people to everyone even though Iraq went through sad and difficult circumstances for decades since 1980.
Thanks again.....Shukran🙂
Thank you for the emotional video . It speaks of what kind of person you are a good human .
You are a decent person with beautiful soul. Thank you very much for visiting our country and showing the real Iraqis.

Thank you Doug for the beautiful videos. I am a follower from Iraq. I love you Doug ⚘⚘❤❤🌹🌹🥰🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶
19:25 who taught this kid generosity!!
YES! 😆
Most Iraqis are nice, but they are oppressed by the media
Among the Iraqis, they are the origin and source of generosity in the world
Its in the genes.. this is normal in iraq
He learned it from the people around him. lovely kid. just show the true people of Basra.
Very nice thank you
The video looks beautiful ❤️❤️❤️🌹
Thank you 👍 for visiting Basra.
شكو ماكو 😄😄😄😄
اهلا بك في العراق .. انا كعراقي سعيد جدا بهذه الفيديوات لانك نقلت صورة واقعية للغرب عن بلد يتوقعون ان سكانه همج ولا يعلمون شيء عن التحضر والمدنية .. شكرا من القلب

You made me feel I traveled to Basra 🤪🤣❤️
Thank you bro👌❤️👍

Me too
Welcome to Iraq, my beloved country. Thank you for your visit to Iraq. I hope you will come back in the future
شكرا جزيلا لك . اهلا بكم بالعراق في مدينة البصرة . اتمنى ان تزور البصرة مرة أخرى و تذهب الى المناطق الجميلة بالبصرة . مثلا . بساتين النخيل و الأسواق الكبيرة القديمة بالعشار و جزيرة السندباد و الاهوار و الأسواق والمولات الحديثة و الحدائق و جامعة البصرة و الاماكن السياحية في البصرة . تحياتي 🌹🌷 thank you very much . Welcome to Iraq in the city of Basra. I hope you to visit Basra again and go to the beautiful areas of Basra . for example , Palm orchards, Sinbad Island, the old big markets in al-Ashar, Sinbad Island, marshes, markets, modern malls, gardens, Basra University, and tourist places in Basra. Thanks 🌹🌷
reeks of a great culture and civilization fills the place but every tiny detail from people to buildings seems like it has been struggling till exhausting with the long years of war and political conflict !
Exactly,
Mr Doug welcome to my governorate Basra🌴
Doug I would like to thank you for this amazing visit to my country of origin Iraq 🇮🇶 which I left from 1990 I never been there since look at Iraqi people so friendly more than any one in the world thank you again Doug god bless you mate
Omg loves the smile of that young child when you give him the money, you make happy that good 👍🏼
You so sensitive and emotional son Doug😭 broke my heart 💔
7:08 Accept your heart, do not be sad, for we are accustomed to worry and sadness. There is no Iraqi home devoid of a dear person who was killed by treachery or injustice or defending his family 💔😞🇮🇶
You guys really didn’t deserve any of the unfortunate events that unfolded following the gulf war. My sincerest condolences to any and every Iraqi house missing a son, a daughter, a mother, a father, a sister or a brother. We’ll always be your loyal neighbours despite everything that’s happened in the past. 🇰🇼❤️ 🇮🇶

Hi came from instagram live
Thanks for all your support!!!
I don't know how I stumbled upon your video of Kerbala and like you was bowled over with the beauty of the Imam Hussein shrine. Iraqis who have suffered so much for years are so friendly to foreigners is a credit to them. It's most unfortunate that our media portrays these hospitable people in such a bad light. I have decided to visit the country in next three months during their winter. I have travelled extensively in the east and almost all the markets sell cheap Chinese goods but Iraqi markets had their locally crafted souvenirs, a credit to them. Am looking forward to your next video
As usual, very nice video❤️❤️❤️🌹🥺
thank you!!
You deserve that beautiful video🥰🥰🥰
You have given me a look at Iraq, a very beautiful video. I hope you will stay more and visit the rest of the governorates of Iraq. You are welcome. You have honored us with your arrival.
We love doug and love your videos welcome in Basra
thank you so much!
