Returning to BAGHDAD after 15 years!! It's not what you think (4K)
"A tourist in my own country"....
In this vlog, I reflect on my first visit to Baghdad 15 years ago and the years since, when fear and uncertainty clouded my connection to a country that’s both familiar and foreign. But for the FIRST time, I venture BEYOND the confines of the Green Zone to explore Baghdad’s streets, reconnect with long-lost family, and discover a side of Iraq I had only heard about.
From food adventures with my cousin Ahmed to exploring historic landmarks and cafes, this trip was a chance to see Iraq in a whole new light. Alongside stunning views of Baghdad, I dive deep into its rich culture, history, and the resilience of its people. Amidst the reminders of war, the power outages, and the lingering effects of conflict, I found something I didn’t expect-hope. This vlog is a personal story of rediscovery, family, and the unbreakable spirit of Iraq. Watch to see why I’m already planning my next trip back. (Make sure to watch the video in 4K)
Below are the two talks I referenced in this vlog:
- HKS Talk 'Hope in Infinity' - ua-cam.com/video/XMpfd7olhak/v-deo.html
- TEDx Bagdad (Manhal Al-Habobbi) - ua-cam.com/video/hOgX-L-FUUw/v-deo.html
And the website I created for my father's art: www.zahawiart.com
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hi, my name is Hamada. I'm on a personal quest to experience every country on Earth. After 25 years of traveling, I'm down to the Final 50 destinations. So join me on this journey where I will be using Entertainment, Education, and Exploration to make each destination a life experience! These videos aim to be fun, informative, and personal.
So feel free to message me about how we can collaborate on this journey, travel together to maximize the experience, or just chat about how to spread the message of being more responsible, intentional, and present travelers!
If I'm not traveling, then I'm likely playing uncle (to Seb & Laila), lawyer, education entrepreneur, and/or trying to stay fit in Southern California, where I'm based! 🙏🏼

    Hamada, you’ve done an outstanding job capturing the true essence of Baghdad! Watching this video made me feel like I was right there with you, reliving those moments and experiencing the beauty of the city firsthand. The personal stories you shared, especially toward the end, truly resonated with me-seeing the places where your family lived brought back so many memories of my time in Somalia. Your mom and grandparents would be incredibly proud of what you've created. I’m excited to follow your journey and see what’s next!

    Hayati, my beloved son. what an informative, engaging, heartwarming and a touchy video👍 My feelings, while watching your video, was and shall always be, I LOVE Baghdad, good or bad, clean or dirty, chaos or in-order, dark or light, running water or no water, services or no services...etc Baghdad is Baghdad that has a very special place in our hearts, no matter what! it had marked our lives very deeply; I am more than happy to have had lived in Baghdad during my University education years and later when I practiced my career there for several years. Till your next video filming OUR promised trip together to Baghdad and the region of Kurdistan, where I was born, lived and got educated most of my life. Habiby, It meant so much to me when you asked me to visit Kurdistan together because you desired to see the region through my "lenses"❤ Till then, Keep up your insatiable desire and curiosity, Ebni :) God bless you🙏

I’m sure your mom is proud and happy while watching this amazing video, specially the end part where you close the video with my neighborhood area where I grew up the same building and floor where your mom and grandparents used to live. I look forward for watching the next video
