Thank you everyone who watched the Iraq videos! Back in the UK now and waiting for the next adventure. Remember, if you want some Saddam Hussein money from Iraq then comment below something and I’ll choose someone 👍
I remember Simon Wilson invited a subscriber to come and travel with him and they had to send a video on why they want to travel with him. He did it with some subscribers for some different countries. And hotels 🏨 and accommodations were all paid for. They only had to pay for flights and food & drinks.
Hey Ben! I am interested for Money from Iraq and from Saddam Hussein because I am someone who collect cash money from abroad. I have now money from 17 currencies. You know that I am German and I am interested in other countries stuff and history :D
You only went to the safe parts of Iraq and then say “look how safe it is” if another Pipa Bacca occurs there its on you bro… Najaf would have eaten you alive.
You're welcome but thank you for traveling & showing these videos!!! Love seeing these beautiful places I only wish I could afford to visit. Love seeing different cultures & looking into non-mainstream history of places.
no one threat any Kurd in Turkiye, Turkish government gives the same rights to all nations who live in Turkiye. Also there are too many nations in Turkiye, no one separate them. Just majority are Turks
@@pezan9688 Those lands before was in currently Azerbaijani Turks. Till 1530s all of Turkish Kurds areas were in Safaviids. After we lost to Ottomans, Turkish Turks got that land. So, Kurds were living only like as little minority and live like as minority. If they dont like their state they can leave this state at any time
Thank you for visiting us, it's kinda disappointing that people still pollute Kurdistan, but we are taking a step in the right direction to becoming a country and yes there are also many ethnicities in Northern Iraq, and we respect them all.
As Azerbaijani Turk I also feel pain because of your destiny. When great Timur(son of Kengiz khan) was alive he was saying that " I havent finished the roots of Armenians. Because of this, I dont know my next generations will curse me or will pray for me"😅😅
You missed many cities in Kurdistan, brilliant nature with amazing places, Duhok province and Balakayati are stunning, however i hope that you enjoyed your holiday mate.
Rite Ben, before I go on, I just want to tell you, I'm a 63yr old man. When I was a young man such as your good self, I too loved to travel, it is the only true education. I've been watching you for a while and have made a few comments. I did mention about your delivery being a bit strained. However, you are smashing it now. I feel your being yourself now, far more natural. Your doing a great job, your taking a few risks and your content is great. Loving the places your going to. It does take bottle to go to these places, especially alone. Top man, keep it up, I'm getting to see places I wouldn't see normally. Top man
Hi Ben.I’ve worked in Kurdistan and it is completely different too Iraq. Most British people don’t understand the difference but working with Kurds im very aware how patriotic they are of their own state. Personally the Kurds also for the most part have a different physical appearance. They tend to be more olive skinned than the Iraqis. Ben that posh hotel you had a drink in being a westerner they wouldn’t of even challenged you. I know it sounds arrogant but you’ve got to walk in like you own the place and they won’t even challenge you😂
Yes, I noticed the same. I work with Kurdish, Arab and Pakistani guys in England. The Kurds definitely look and behave differently from others. Very distinct. Although they are very patriotic about Kurdistan, they adapt to Western ways quicker than others. They are more open minded.
Hey! I'm Kurdish, I personally recommend you visit Kurdistan in bahar (spring). The cities of Duhok and Suleymaniyah are just as well developed as Erbil! The vast majority know fluent English and would all show you a good time around!

Well done Ben. I am watching your journey in Iraq and Kurdistan from my finca in South Andalucia near to Gibraltar. It gets so hot here so I can appreciate how hot you found it walking around that market. Looking forward to your next adventure hugs x Frank
Great video. I'm Irish and going to be spending 3 months working with an NGO in Erbil soon, coming in via Baghdad. After watching this I can't wait to come. Nervous but excited
Welcome to Iraq, you need to revisit Iraq again in winter there are a lot too see in South part too I am sure you missed it , pluse you should enjoy luxury hotels next time 😉good luck my friend
Just came back from a trip trough Namibia. Next fall i’ll be going to Erbil and the rest of Iraqi Kurdistan. Can’t wait :) Greetings from the Netherlands
You did a brilliant job of showing Iraq to the world . Thank you Ben . I can't wait to see what comes next . Meanwhile , I'll be working my way through your earlier videos . Cheers from Cleveland Ohio
Hey Ben - another great video mate - they look like really nice people . I still haven’t seen you bring out the pink T shirt mate , when will we see that ?
A very interesting vlog Ben. A few years back, specialist tour companies were flying into Erbil (with Lufthansa?) to provide an insight into this region for those interested. I am sure those who made the journey will be enriched by the experience as much as you have been. 👍
Loving the videos as usual bro , fairplay your smashing it and really giving me the explorer bug , time to set of and create my own adventures , following your recommendations and I would love to have some saddam Hussain money to take as a mascot 👊🏻😎👊🏻
Ben it would be nice to have more information such as how much did your room cost and let’s have a look at the room and how much did your beer cost etc 😊 Thanks
لا عندنا لهجات كثير يعني عند فرق بين لهجة من المنطقة إلى منطقة ثاني مثل سوراني باديني زازاكي كوران هورامي و مزيد يعني كل مدينة في كوردستان عند لهجة خاصة (اعذرني اذا متفاهم من كلامي لأنه أنا ما تكلم عربي زين)💐
Hello👋 Another Great content of lovely Kurdish part of Iraq. It was incredible. 👍🏻🥰🤩 It's too hot. It's too difficult to travel and make video. Your efforts are always appreciated.💙🙏🏻💙 Have a great and safe journey to the UK.😊
I’m enlightened about Erbi! Very interesting place thanks for showing us. I can’t win the money as I’m not on Instagram or social media but I definitely deserve to win it 😎🙏🤔
So is Iraqi Kurdistan something that was agreed with the Americans? Because the Kurds has been fighting for their own land in that area for the longest time against pretty much everyone. Still fighting with Turkey, Syria and Iran
Following 1991, Nato established a no fly zone over the region which allowed them (kurds) to gain control. Then after the 2003 invasion, the US created a new constitution that pretty much paved the way for what you see today (iraqi kurdistan).
Iraq is the hottest country in the Middle East in the summer, and this degree appears to be low 11:08 compared to the city of Basra, and it reached 52 degrees there
it's not complicated at all it's simple, Kurdistan was STOLEN divided IN TO 4 OR 5 by Britain and from it was created fake iraq turkey syria and iran, kurds are indigenous, turks are mix of many, also kurdish is indo European language so its related even to English, example TO BE OR NOT TO BE in Kurdish its TU BE TU NA BE, and much more
Welcome to my home town Kurdistan u should have visited the mountains area Zagros and Toros , the South Caucasus is very nice area , it’s the birth place of Aryan race , Caucasian people all evolved there 10,000 years ago , they moved around to Europe and India after domesticating horses and created chariots , history history
I know what you mean about that heat. The hot is hot and what I imagine being in an air fryer would feel like. We topped out at 116F and every day was over 100F with most above 105F in July. It was crazy!
