Exploring ERBIL, Capital of IRAQI KURDISTAN ھەولێر
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- I spend the day exploring Erbil, the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan, an autonomous region of Iraq. I wander the Qaysari Bazaar, sampling some of the city's best kebab, washing it down with some tea in an authentic old cafe. I head inside Erbil's famous citadel, before finishing up with a stroll down the buzzing Iskan Street.

My Lord these Kurdish men are beautiful! I need to plan a trip. Great job as usual Jason!
Agreed! They are handsome and seem friendly and polite.
@@andyroo9381 And homophobic. I'd be very careful.
@@charleskristiansson1296 proud to be homophobic
Again a great video Jason!!. Erbil is such a nice place. I have added Erbil/Kurdistan to my travel list.
Thanks. You absolutely should, the centre of Erbil is really authentic.
Not a great place if you were a female lone traveller.
@@charleskristiansson1296 it's pretty safe for women I've heard. It's not 2015 anymore.
Jason, you amaze me with the calm way you appear to fit in wherever in the world you happen to be. Also I am impressed with how you have adequate language skills in so many places. Just curious, have you ever been threatened by any local? I assume your camera can both open and close doors with strangers. You are the best vlogger out there.
I’ve been shouted at a few times which is to be expected when you’ve been filming full time for nearly 6 years. But it’s never gone further than that. I’d say that’s pretty good going!
Sincerely appreciate you carrying your camera around all these cool places. You are one brave dude
Thanks Jeff!
Until he is kidnapped by a jidahi militia. Then he would simply be a stupid dreamer fool.
You Ar best and welcome to kurdstan🥺
Spas!
Welcome to Kurdistan!
Hope you have a great time!
Spas! I had a great trip there.
There’s a city name Amediya its on top of the mountain its not far from duhok city and Akre city is very old u can visit there in same day maybe
I lived in erbil for sometimes, I also have family there
Thanks for exploring erbil Jason

Welcome to south kurdistan
I think if I were to visit the middle east for the first time. I'd go to Kurdistan first. What a peaceful happy place. 💞
You are welcome to the most peaceful and democratic people in Middle East, we have all sorts of religions and Atheist people, Kurdistan will be free From Turks and Arabs one day.

@@JasonBillamTravel thanks for reply, I am following you for a long time
Omg, I bet the food is delicious. My mouth is watering
I don’t think I’ll ever taste a better kebab in my life..
Hey Jason
Glad to see you exploring and sharing a positive vibe with your travels . Refreshing to see the world and communities friendly and without apprehension. It’s a reminder of what we can look forward to ❤️❤️
The world is safer than what is portrayed. Lots to look forward to in 2022!
LONG LIVE THE ALL 4 PARTS OF KURDISTAN ONE DAY WE WILL BE ONE ☝️🦅✌️✌️
This is kurdistan hawler beautiful, biji kurdistana free kurdistan 🇹🇯🇹🇯🇹🇯❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️..... not iraq
Wellcome to my city 😍
You are welcomed in Kurdistan, I suggest you to go for a trip in the spring into the mountains with baderxan , that will be amazing! ❤️☀️💚
I Loved the traditional vibe..Thank you for sharing
It’s a really cool city.
Seems like a popular tourist destination now! Or maybe just you tubers and travel writers? Looks nice I’d love to go, lots of interesting places in Kurdistan. Hope you had a great holiday happy new year everyone!
Seems to be. Especially towards the tail end of last year a lot of UA-camrs were visiting southern Iraq (with the new visa on arrival scheme making it easy).
Love you KURDİSTAN 💚❤💛
What a great place kurdistan is so beautiful, have a great time man 👊🏽❤️
Other countries always seem so freeing in their lifestyle. I wish i could experience that all the time. Looks like a wonderful place Jason.
There's nothing free about Irbil.... The women are 'banned' from the cafés. It's men only.
احسن فدیو بالنسبة سائح.بالتوفيق.bakher bey bo hawlyr
Kurdistan ❤☀️💚✌
I always use his videos to practice my English ,the way he explains things is amazing
Since you’re in Iraq I suggest to you to visit one of the oldest religion called the Yazidis which place is Lalish near where you are. It hold a lot of history in it and inn sure you would love it. Hope you visit it :)
I didn’t have time to go there but it looks super interesting. Will definitely have to come back at some point to visit Lalish.
@@JasonBillamTravel nice to hear that!☺️ believe me you will not regret it
His in Kurdistan.
Amazing Jason, love your Middle East but especially your Iraq videos! 🇮🇶😃❤️
That’s great to hear.
It's Kurdistan, not Iraq❤️
Kurdistan❤️☀️💚✌🏽
that's wonderful.😀and you make us hungry with all these delicious dishes😋😅
I love how everything comes with flat bread. Yum.
Really good one Jason . The bazaar and teahouse seemed incredible. Your content just gets better and better . Thank you
Thank you!
Welcome to South Kurdistan 😍
Jason, all your videos are amazing. Thank you, and I look forward to the next.
Thanks Peter!
My prayers for safe travels no matter where you go. Thank you once again for taking us places that some of us would never go.
Thank you!
I second Indiana Sunshine's sentiments. We are very grateful to you for showing us these wonders, maybe more than others us older adventurers who no longer travel as we once did.
You're amazing and the way you presenting all these it's just fabulous. 💕 I love middle eastern countries and you showing them more beautiful now I'm more attracted to these countries. Thank you very very much Jason
Happy to know the videos are appealing to you.
Very well said. Seems to be a nice place ..
So glad I just ate, you eating there makes one hungry ! The kebab looks indeed delicious !
Best I’ve ever tasted!
I thoroughly enjoyed your outlook on erbil, you did go to the two most visited places, the citadel is usually a lot more busy earlier on in the day and iskan street is pretty much where you find the younger generation hanging about, I just recently moved from the UK to Erbil and what an experienced it’s been so far! Safe travels
Oh you went to my favorite restaurant and made me miss Kabab 😁, it is nice trip
Shlama Jason! What an absolutely beautiful travel vlog you have put together here. I truly enjoyed watching it and learned so much more about Erbil, Iraq. I think you did a great job of capturing the beauty that this city has to offer. I'm also so glad to see that you were able to make friends while visiting local spots!
With all due respect, as a public content creator in Erbil I do find it a bit odd that you didn't mention the Assyrian people living in this same region, once. Prior to Kurdistan, this same region housed the people indigenous to the land - the Assyrians.
The Assyrian people are the cradle of civilization. Assyrians speak a modern version of a language called Aramaic, the language Jesus Christ spoke. Assyrians are predominately Christian, belonging to various churches. Assyria used to be made of Syria, Iraq, Turkey and Iran. In 1915, a gruesome ethnic cleansing was done on the Assyrians due to not giving up their religion. This forced the Assyrians to lose their home, possessions and mostly lives. Today, the surviving Assyrians do not have their OWN nation. BUT you have stepped foot on some of the oldest land on earth, so with that I say Congratulations! Assyrians live in Erbil and surrounding areas in Iraq and many more live in diaspora, outside the home land.
As someone with indigenous descent to the Assyrians, I would have loved to have seen you discuss the original history of the land you're on. It would have meant a lot to be recognized by those unfamiliar with this side of the world.
Please know that I am so proud of how courageous you are for travelling alone and making these videos to educate others. You are doing something great, please keep it up and best of luck! I send you all my support and love. All the best on your future travels :)
I sure do miss a good Kurdish kebab.
Can't wait to see you again Jason , this time travelling together 🥰🥰
Such an interesting place. Jason you have such a great pace and perspective. With each sweep of your camera, your greetings, your explanation of what we see…excellent videos!
Thanks Lori!

Welcome KÜRDİSTAN
Well done , bro !
We welcome you in Kurdistan at other times .
Spas!
Thanks for visiting Erbil and shooting around.
Colorful, vibrant, beautiful country... 🙏🙏
Thank you for showing the positive side of Iraq 🤍🌸🙏
Do you mean Kurdistan ?.
@@roj1.6 No
@@nancy.313 kurdistan 😂
@@nancy.313 iraq has no positive side this is Kurdistan
Hi jason good to see you back
Thanks!
Hi Jason welcome to my region i wish you share best things and place for people know Erbil very good place
Another great video, thank you Jason! Erbil looks much more prosperous and vibrant compared to the rest of Iraq. Is it actually the case?
I would say the centre of Erbil is probably the most vibrant, apart from Old Baghdad maybe. In terms of prosperity there are some very affluent neighbourhoods in Baghdad and Erbil. Karbala is a rich town because of all the pilgrims.
تعمرت بفلوس البصره
Kurdistan not Iraq !
Kurdistan
Amazing video, amazing experience. I would love to do it as well. Thanks for sharing man.
Thanks Jorge!
you really do these places justice
Happy to hear that.
Wonderful Video as Always Jason 👌. I noticed at the kebab shop, Tea shop & cafe they were all men, except for one woman (possibly a tourist) sitting outside the the cafe. On January 17th I will be flying to Istanbul. I don't mind that I will be travelling alone. I haven't gone anywhere since before all the madness.☘✌.
There were a lot more women in the citadel and markets, but the kebab and tea places were dominated by men as you could see. Wishing you all the best for the trip - I’m sure it’ll go great.
@@JasonBillamTravel Thank You So Much Jason. I Wish You All the Very Best for 2022. May this Year be a Better one for Everyone Everywhere.☘🙏✌.
Welcome into iraq ❣️
Welcome in southkurdistan🕊
Most colorful and interesting - thank you, Jason.
A really vibrant centre!
Welcome to your country Kurdistan my dear friend
Welcom to 🤗 My lovely 🥰 City 🥰
Your videos are amazing Jason you should visit Sulaimany sometime too it's part of iraqi kurdistan either:D
Thank you! Unfortunately I didn’t have time. I’ll make sure to get down to Suly next time.
i ❤️ Kurdistan
HI Jason! As I am thinking about applying for a job in Eerbil - do you think it is safe for a European/western women walking around on her own?
I dont see any women eating or drinking tea in public...
@@HerzimKopf92 Because Iraqi women do not sit much in the street and prefer to sit in restaurants or tourist resorts and cities. We Iraqi women do not like to eat in the street very much. We like to sit in quiet places, but sometimes we eat in the street in the eating places. This is our custom as Iraqi women.
@@iraqismycountry1866 thank you for your answer! would it be odd for me to eat in that kebab place for example? I know this from Malaysia too. I have always eaten alone between men but it was okay.
@@HerzimKopf92 ❤❤👍🏻No, my love, I am an Iraqi citizen and I can eat anywhere I want and anyone can eat anywhere he likes without the interference of others in his affairs because Iraq is a democratic, civilized country with multiple religions and sects. Dear country, the country of all, and Iraq and Iraqis welcome the guests of all countries, the world 🇮🇶
@@iraqismycountry1866 Kurdistan not Iraq.
All the people young n old handsome

My beautiful Kurdistan
Wow, the waiter took time out to take a hit from the shisha bong before going to get the chai.
Your videos are always really interesting so thank you. You should visit a local barbers for a haircut and film the experience
Thanks for that. Good idea for another trip in the future.
I miss Erbil so much!
It’s a really cool city.
Please visit Puerto rico 🇵🇷
