Inside SAMARRA, Iraq's Most DANGEROUS City! Not What We EXPECTED!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- One of the hardest places to visit, SAMARRA! Multiple military checkpoints to leave the city of Iraq and then multiple checkpoints to enter the area of Saladin, all to see this unique invention, the Spiral Minaret. With no barriers or railings to precent you from falling off, the walk up is a tricky one, especially when the wind is HORRIFIC like it was for us today! On the way back we made friends with some members of the forces who really wanted a photo with us!

Thank you for visiting Iraq because it needs people to spread the positive side in Iraq that is free from any ruin ❤
Thanks for watching
First of all, you are welcome in my country, Iraq. In fact, I noticed that you are the only one who answers all the comments, unlike many UA-camrs. This is an excellent point for the turnout of your channel, and in the end, I thank you for showing the true face of my contrary to what the international and Arab media used to lie.❤
Thank you so much! We appreciate your support ♥️
They used to be militias until 2016. Then a law was passed and they were converted into an actual military force named popular mobilization forces. They heroically and courageously help defeat ISIS. They actually helped liberate my Christian town in Northern Iraq from ISIS. Moreover, I truly enjoyed watching your video and I look forward to seeing more.
🌹❤️
Thanks for your comment, we really appreciate it
اصيل ❤
لاخوي مو الحشد كلنه نعرف الاحزاب مستحوذة ع سامراء ومن ضمنهم سرايا..) الحشد هنه فصيلين فقط وتابعين للعتبة

I really want to travel to Iraq. However South Korea Government banned citizens travel to Iraq. So I'm very interested in this country. Thank you for your nice video everyday. Will you visit Karbala Shrine?
I hope that van is lifted soon! Karbala video is coming soon!
العراق جدن جميل وامان مافي شي ❤
Because the Korean government doesn’t want its citizens on Islamic snuff videos
I hope you can come visit us soon! We have many South Koreans here working on infrastructure projects. For example, Bismayah new city project in Baghdad and Grand Faw port in Basra. We hope to get more wonderful visitors from South Korea. Much love!
Respect frome iraq to South korea 🇮🇶💙🇰🇷
I have lived 25 years in Iraq and I never been upp in the Malwyyah ( the spiral Minaret). You really are brave. Well done.
Aw thank you so much. We really appreciate it
Pls can I join you there
You two have great personalities and you channel deserves millions of subscribers. Welcome to my country Iraq and I hope you have a safe and memorable trip. 🌹
Thank you so much. This is so kind of you
Can't get enough of your Iraqi vlgos!
Thank you!
They are actually militant forces from civil population and they get paid by government and they take their orders from Iraqi Army, the reason for this situation is because the Army does not have enough soldeirs to secure the whole of Iraq and no accidents has been reported against them.... Welcome to Iraq and happy visit...⚘️⚘️⚘️🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶
Thank you very much for explaining! 🥰♥️
Big like my friends , thanks a lot for exposing the kindness of Iraqi people to the globe .

Hahaha! It was a bit scary
What a famous tour guide... wow. "The General". 😆😊😄 Great video. 👍 Cheers and stay safe. ❤
He is the best! Thanks for watching!
Wow, this gave me severe vertigo without leaving my lounge settee 😂. Your guide Zi (?), is absolutely a legend. Such a gentle man and so dapper in his immaculate suit and tie. Brilliant !
Hahahahah! He’s honestly the best. The suit and tie does it for us! Thanks for watching! 🥰♥️
"Zi" , rhymes with Tea
Hi
I have been in Bath - England doing my PhD 2014-2018. I live in Samarra now and I wish if I could have seen you as haven't seen or spoken to an English guy for 4 years. Well done but visiting Samarra and have a safe trip
Aw wow thanks for watching hope you're doing good!
Excelente reportaje amigos gracias por compartir 🇸🇻 😊
Thank you Jose! 🥰
Love from Bangladesh♥️🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
Hey! Thank you!
Lovely and nice people. Very good to see, to correct my prejudices about Iraq.
Thanks for watching!
Can I just say I've been watching a few of your videos today and usually travel vloggers make me cringe because they're very clickbait-ey, trying to make their situations seem more dangerous or unique or making wherever it is they're visiting seem like some far off weird land; very orientalist.
It's so so so refreshing to watch your videos with how down to earth youse are, how much respect you have for the places you are and the people you're with, how you basically just show what you're up to and what a place is like without trying to sensationalise or whatever. Really really great to see very refreshing, thank you for that.
Thank you so much!!!! I think maybe we’re too excited to make it seem more dangerous 😂
A very interesting place Samarra is . The Minaret looked pretty sketchy with a handrail against the left side of the structure. Were you nervous about the winds swirling around up there? Your
Guide is a character. Love him. We will look him up when we decide to go. Great video Guys. Looking forward to more Iraq. Sending much Love and Affection from Richmond, Va. Harriet
Jim and Yuki 🙏❤🙏
We were scared lol but it was good fun and we held on tight! Thanks for always watching! 🥰♥️
Spent many nights guarding the bottom of that tower, we had snipers up top 24/7. Really crazy to see it 20 years later. I'm glad the city is doing good.
I am very happy to see you again, what a lucky British people to visit us. I hope you will excuse us if there was a mistake 😊🙂
Thank you for watching! 🥰♥️
@@dabbleandtravel 🥰
those soldiers(or gentlemen) knows how to have fun.very warmth.very accomodating.just imagine what iraq could offer if every zone is GREEN.
Lovely!
Can you easily catch a taxi in Samarra to return to Baghdad? I am planning to visit Iraq next autumn.
Great video thank you. 😊
Hey! You probably could yes, but the checkpoints might be tricky with little English. It’s with getting a tour guide for the day trip.
أهلا وسهلا بكم في العراق 😊👋
Thank you so much
Good video I bet u have been having fun over there

Shay (tea) is life ❤️and nice vlogging in the beautiful country Iraq.

Thank you so much! Jordan was on our list but we didn’t have time! Next time for sure
It is very brave of you to go on this adventure in such a high place, I enjoyed watching you. For your information, the militiaman who wanted to take a picture with the beautiful lady just to show off to his friends. Excuse the typical thought of the Iraqi soldier.
Thanks for watching
هاي شلك بيها؟
اعذروه. ويتباهه كدام اصدقائه .
تثقف شويه وصير اكبر عقل من الجندي
Welcome in irak bro 🙏
Thank you!
There is no way on earth I could have walked up this. When we went up the burj khalifa it was at night and I was fine . When we went up the Dubai frame in the day I stayed in the middle and had an ice cream while the wife walked about I was terrified . Fair play to you and your guide is smartly dressed a bit cool and I’m sure a ladies man lol cheers guys all caught up on this hideous rainy night 👍
Friend, are you going to northern Iraq? I suggest the atmosphere there is good ❤❤
More iraq content to come 🥰♥️
We are waiting for you in Tikrit, the students of Tikrit University wish to visit you
Thank you so much! We hope we can visit next time 🥰
Again amazing video❤, mind if I ask what camera is that?
Thank you! We’re using the Panasonic gh5 mark 2 x
Welcome to Samarra, the capital of the Abbasid state❤
Thank you Hossam
عاصمة النعل
I am from Iraq, Baghdad. A message to every human being. You must visit this country that is 10 thousand years old, the land between the two rivers, the cradle of civilizations, which taught the world reading, writing, and laws. But you are misled by the false media?
I live close to samarra but i haven't visit it in my life
Hope you can
You Guys!!!!!!!!!!!! I was sick just watching you! And they are friendly until they aren't!
Ohhhh you can say that about everyone! 🥰♥️
Samarra a bg person to samarra people
Incredible!
Thanks Mike!
Come to the city of Mosul in northern Iraq
Coming soon
Ohh guys so brave of you👏👏👏
Thank you!
My brother, they are not militias, they are the sons of Iraq and they are also part of the Iraqi army. This is because of the many wars in Iraq. Many movements and resistance were generated to confront any foreign interference. My greetings to you, my brother.
It is true that the malawiyya is not very high, but it is terrifying because there is no seat belt
Very scary haha! Thanks for watching
I think they never actually will add a guard rail, its definitely because Malwya is an ancient site and they can't go adding stuff to its structure and risk damaging it.
wait,what?50 cents for petrol?much,much cheaper than the street food you got there.and that structure looks like the tower of babylon.
Thanks for watching!
Welcome to iraq guys
Thank you!
Hi guys, I travel in two weeks. The the minaret is closed. I reckon zizi your guide could defo sort it. Would you be able to put me in touch with him?
Love the content.
Hey! Yes you can contact Al Rafidain on Instagram as that’s our tour company, hopefully they can help!! Cheers & enjoy!
Niceone guys
Habibi, come to Karbala, I am waiting for you
Coming soon!
Thank you for visiting your second country Everyone is welcome at any time ♥♥♥♥♥
Thank you! Please share the video ♥️
Go to the Tigris tourist village in Baghdad
Thanks for the recommendation!
Welcome to my country❤
Thanks so much! Please share the video!
hello from india😍
Hello 😊
I am Majed from Iraq, I am 26 years old, a history teacher, and I live in the south of the country, specifically in Warka, one of the most important shrines of history. I can help you with some information
Thanks for watching and for your comment!
Sammarra is 100% sunni city. The gun men, you met , are Muqtada Al sadr militia, and they have expelled the original lokcals out of Samarra. They literally occupy the city.
nice❤
Greetings to you welcome to Mesopotamia and greetings to the girl your friend who is with you There are no militias, these are young people who volunteered to defend Iraq and the provinces that were attacked by Daesh, they now belong to the Iraqi Army. There are dark people who hate Iraq and the forces that confronted Isis and supported the security forces. They are brave. When you go to Najaf, you will see the biggest cemetery in the world. Ask about the cemetery of the martyrs of the popular mobilization, you will find thousands of young people and old people who sacrificed their lives. Even Iraq is returning to what it is now.
Thank you for your comment
Scarf on you makes you more and more beautiful ❤
Wonderful people. Met so many of them as a child/teen through our Dad’s work there. The most generous, no nonsense people 😊but please delete the word “militia“ - they’re not.
Thanks for watching! We were told they were militia 🥰
@@dabbleandtravel would you like to visit in Israel ?
Because of your country's occupation of our country, it was completely destroyed, but now it is trying to rise again and restore its glories and the development it was in the year 1990. 🇮🇶
F.L. I find it heartbreaking. Many Iraqis have said this to me in person. I’m not a man, nor am I an advocate of wars. Sending love💖🌻
Israel ? Apartheid Israel ?
Not a good idea.
Jag hoppas att ni har en trevlig resa 👍
Thank you Ahmed
I live there.
Welcome 🇮🇶🌹

هسه شيفهمهم هذولي مؤسسة عسكرية (حشد شعبي) مو مليشيات 😅
Thank you for watching!
Was it necessary to take with you guards? There were many tourists going there without guards.
We didn’t have guards, if you watch the video you’ll see the forces wanted photos with us 😉🥰
These soldiers are affiliated with the Iraqi Security Forces (Al-Hashd Al-Shaabi) affiliated to the Prime Ministry.
Not militias, correct your information, and do not oppress the security men
Thank you for letting us know
I agree youtubers should ask or check their info, but you don't have to be so Brash when trying to send a message.. And in no way they were Oppressing the Forces...Just be glad they are there and brining light to a good situation now.
The weather in Iraq now is so hot 🔥 why all in the video wear winter clothes??
This was filmed end of January it was cold haha
@@dabbleandtravel perfect 👌 ✨
صور هذا الفيديو اثناء بطولة الخليج بالبصره تقريبا قبل شهرين

I hope you guys get back to safer countries ... and soon!! Saudi Arabia is safer and open to tourists.

Coming soon!
So scary place
🥰♥️
I got a good feeling your guide really misses life under Saddam, and yearns for the good old days. I bet he personally knew everyone on the American deck of cards of Iraqi most wanted. Cool guy
Thanks for watching
Yeah the Shia of iraq totally miss saddam ,… read a book,.
@@jaleel42 Big deal. Iraq became a shithole, terror hub and extension of Iran after the Americans “liberated” it. The strong man kept it together and peaceful under his rule. Libya is another American “freedom” success story. Dictators kept order and peace. Its all chaos now
😂
And when moeslem in western country they always said moeslem terorist.
