He didn’t scam you man he was right the price Is like 40$-50$ which Is In Iraqi dinar Is like 60,000 but when people talk they say 60 not 60,000 The reason of the high price for the airport taxis Is that there Is a fee and not every taxi can go Inside You should have an Iraqi friend who speaks arabic so you could call him to explain to you during such situations All love for you man and welcome to Iraq brother🇮🇶❤️

So, I'm a citizen of both the US and Iraq, and whenever I go to Baghdad, I pay the taxi driver around 40 to 50 US dollars to take me from the airport to anywhere in the city. By the way, 60,000 Iraqi dinars is roughly equivalent to 45 US dollars. But here's the catch: if the taxi driver receives his payment in dollars, he ends up losing about 2 dollars when he exchanges it for dinars. No one is scamming you. You are our guest.
@@uvblhfdhkufgb3680 It's not about how cheap Iraq is, yes taxi fare inside the city is usually cheap but what everyone knows here in Baghdad is that taxi fare to or from the airport is relatively more expensive than usual and there are reasons related to fees imposed on taxi drivers at the airport or something like that. Me personally, whenever I go to or come back from the airport I pay the same amount and maybe even more. So yeah definitely there was no scam
@@ArabicButterflyIt Is the normal price because It’s an airport Taxi and they have a fee but the normal taxi In street are cheap like the highest price Inside any city Is less than 10$
the taxi driver was so honest , the regular fee for taxi from the airport to the center of Baghdad expenses from 40 to 50 dollars .And for Iraqis , when they say 60 dinars they mean 60000 dinars .
Brother. He didn't rip you off at all. Airport fee is 20000 iraqi dinnars plus the fare is 25000 to 35000 dinnars. I am in and out of Iraq almost every 2 weeks. Just a heads up, that flag is for the old regime.
What happened between you and the taxi driver was that the taxi driver wanted 60000 iraqi dinars or 33 us dollars and when he said sixty he means 60 k iraqi dinars not 60 iraqi dinars which are equal to 33 us dollars which includes the airport fees that the driver paid to airport entry (this really happens in iraq) and also includes the trip cost
Bro I dont think you got scammed because when they say 60 iraqi, they mean 60 000 iraqi, and thats is an ok fee from airport to a hotel in the city (depends where).
You had a serious attitude problem. You were giving aggressive looks to the driver. You did say you were tired and were giving off the wrong vibes. I don't think he was out to scam you. It was probably just a misunderstanding.
I subscribed to you because you have much courage and takes chances, for us. Keep making "the real" traveling experiences across the globe. Many of your videos I can feel the tension and uncertainty. But you are smooth and have a clean heart.
@@AmarBasrawi I think the distance between the airport and the city center is like 22km or something like that ,anyway the cost is still high in iraq but it is known that airports taxis in iraq charges way higher than average taxi on the street, either ways the taxi driver didn't scam him
I think you misunderstanding something. In iraq they usually don't use thousand after any price if they say 60 it's mean 60,000 not just 60. That why you got confused
Brother you wasn’t scammed when the driver said 60 he meant 60000, when people say 10 they mean 10000 this happened because during the sanction on Iraqi in the 90s inflation went up rapidly within few years prices went up from 10 to 10000, and fares are much higher to and from the airport cause drive have to pay a fee to the airport. From the north of Iraq and when I go there I sometimes pay four time the fare when I go to the airport, you wasn’t scammed brother and I hope you enjoyed your stay
Iraq has had one of the most technologically advanced companies in the Middle East for many years. It is Qi Card, which was one of the first in the world to introduce a biometric payment system
Brother when he say 60 ! Is meant 60k IQD. which is about 50$. And he was saying the airport charge him fee for pick up passengers from the airport. So and I think is fare price.
Brother just so you know, you’re putting the flag of Iraq that belonged to Saddam husseins time. A lot of people will get offended, the current flag looks like this 🇮🇶
You have to type in your app 60.000 not 60. and it was about 45$ so everything is okay you didn’t get scammed. I grew up in Germany and every like 6 years I visit Irak and from the airport so just outside the airport I pay 20$

It is not strange in general. There is a lot that has changed in Iraq, especially in the matter of transportation. There are new ways to pay for transportation through American Express and Visa, and especially they have provided some companies that take passengers and tourists wherever they want, such as a company called the Distinguished Taxi. There are some people who ask people at the airport, but do not be fooled and take any taxi available because these private taxis charge you more fare because they want to take and thus you are forced to pay in dollars in the US dollar and lose. As for the translation issue, you must always buy a SIM card phone line. There are markets inside the airport that activate a line for you. You buy a SIM card line and give an ID like a passport and they activate the line for you. There are many lines such as Asia Cell and Zain Iraq and many things. And so you download the application to translate the language from English to Arabic so that you can communicate with people in the country in which you reside as a visitor or Tourism is a flame after the important things that one must always pay attention to, but as a tourist you may not know, but now everyone learns from experiences.

Taxi from airports are expansive especially in Iraq because they pay at the gate to enter the airport, and for the hotel for a $100 I will get a better hotel in Baghdad
dude it's 60 thousand lol .......... if they only mentioned the (thousands) once everything would be much easier ...... also it's not a scam we iraqis pay the same prices at the airport, just like any other airport around the world. Transportaions is always expensive around the airports.

Taxi from the airport is 10 times more expensive. Drivers must pay airport fees. You should know this. Even in England taking a taxi from the airport is much more expensive.

Note the advice : if you are on low budget and u wanna jump in to the country like any local and pay the minimum.... here is the catch once u reach Airport u go down to the taxi stand u v to pay around 15k iraqi dinner ( 10-15 usd ) sharing taxi just to go out to the taxi yard outside the airport don't take taxi from there coz they are the same people who charged ya a lot inside the airport u v to jump walking a bit if u don't v too much weight with ya lol then find any taxi on the main road wave to the cars they ll stop for ya use google translate make sure to negotiate the process before u jump in and even if u go 2h distance u ll be charged max 10 - 20k iqd (7- 15 usd) make it totall around 25-40 usd best of luck hope u won't end up paying the same 😂

The best way to get from Baghdad Airport (BGW) to Iraq without a car is to taxi which takes 26 min and costs $50 - $65. How long does it take to get from Baghdad Airport (BGW) to Iraq?

Fyi somali people were never slaved idk where you get the idea of Somali being slave in Iraq smh 😂
Google Translate your best friend dawg lmaooo
as an Iraqi living in EU, who has been like 6 times in Iraq, u should never go ALONE to countries like this... always take someone from there with you!! rip-off-always-luring-in-bombed-economics.
How can a taxi ride be so expensive when Iraq is an oil producer
Its not expensive. He got scammed.
@@husseinb9688 I don't think he did
The irony 😂
Airport taxis are expensive it's normal here unless u sit in a big car with 5 more people then u can pay around 7$ instead of 40$
60,000 Iraqi dinars equal 40 US dollars.. A translator should be used to end this suffering
Blackman be careful
A tip from your moroccan follower. You need to negotiate or at leastask the drivers how much it costs before you arrive to your destination
Exactly i did the same in Somalia
Prices are tagged 50 dollar is the airport taxi ... how much in Morroco you charge?
@@salmandirir Somalia is a poor desert country with poor old taxis and a small airport.. you can't compare a prosperous country like Iraq with a shithole like Somalia! ... plus the distance between Baghdad international airport and Baghdad city is 50km
Bro how you go to a country and not know their currency, when they says 60 it means 60,000 iraqi dinars which is 45 USD. Iraq is a country with a strong currency you aren't in south East Asia
👍👏👏
Room looks good. I hate that dude did you like that. Scammers are everywhere.
Taxi from airports are expansive especially in Iraq because they pay at the gate to enter the airport, and for the hotel for a $100 I will get a better hotel in Baghdad
its not expensive in America 100 dollars.
dude it's 60 thousand lol .......... if they only mentioned the (thousands) once everything would be much easier ...... also it's not a scam we iraqis pay the same prices at the airport, just like any other airport around the world. Transportaions is always expensive around the airports.
Stupid currencies,every time I travel abroad I have the same issues.
He never learned his lesson. Brother you need exchange your money at airport. No more confusion
Ur the best love from Canada 🇨🇦
Bruva, thats the fee. We iraqis we pay the same fee when we visit back home. He meant 60000 iraqi dinars but he kept saying 60. Peace and love my bruda.
I've had the same problem when didn't change into their money. Their isn't a universal standard. But some that are very nice are wonderful people
They aren't used to alot of American europeans.

black man I watch you alot bro and you travel to different country different culture different people in that case sometimes ppl look at you different just because the way u dress is like first impression and you coming from UK dressing like you are in UK its good be upgraded physically I mean shaped up casual dress so ppl will respect you more just because your appearance believe me otherwise they will think you are Crack from what ever you coming from na mean that is how I see they do..
yeah you also represent all black people to alot of them so want bro to know that and be sharper in a modest way ofcourse
He should be who he is. Dress the way you dress. Black people have dresses formally in some of these places & have been disrespected. It’s crazy how the black person has to always prove himself worthy.
@@bonbon-gl8qo it’s not just black it’s anyone anywhere that their people aren’t represented .A white man with dreads will be seen as equally unkempt and it can confused people in some cultures who have a strong focus on personal appearance and reputation as a man.
How much time did it take to get from airport to the hotel?
As a comparison,
20 minute taxi = $50
1 night in that room = $50
I can see why he was Annoyed

@@HughJass-313 USD might be high there for that route. I was in Cancun Mexico and got picked up at airport by Airbnb host, going from between hotel zone and downtown Cancun hotel/resort I was quoted 50usd, in 2022 Feb and I got some staff to hook me up 3am pick up to airport firm quote of 30.00 , his car had all kinds of red lights, fuel, oil, maybe coolant, and he drove fast so I could make my 7am wheels up. No cars on the road at 3 am, but I confess, he must have been doing 45, 50 mph and seemed to me like 30-45 minutes. When we arrived he got the flat thirty, no tip. I guess I did get a deal.
@@HughJass-313 It Is the normal price because It’s an airport Taxi and they have a fee but the normal taxi In street are cheap like the highest price Inside any city Is less than 10$
@@HughJass-313and hotels are expensive because there Is not much hotels In the city because most people form other cities go to their friends houses not hotels also he chose a little expensive one
Usually a hotel room Is like 30-40$ but they didn’t scam him he had a Reservation through the app so there Is no scam everything Is usual about the taxi and the hotel Is he wanted to save money he should have get a taxi outside the airport not inside the airport and about the hotel he should have taken a hotel room that costs like 40$ this way he would have paid 50$ instead of 100$
It’s not anyone fault man he just didn’t search and ask enough to get the information
It's a scam!! 60K$ Iraqis for 20min ride?!! You should've bargain with him before taking the ride. I would tell him off if I was there!!
هاذ تكسي المطار هو هيج اسعاره لا نصب ولا احتيال . لان المطار ياخذ من سايق التكس 20 الف على كل رحله و يمكن اكثر
@@krg يمعود مو اني كل يوم مسافر و اعرفهم حق المعرفة هذولة تكاسي المطار، سواء مطار بغداد أو مطار النجف كلها قفاصه و الغبر جاي يشوهون سمعة بلد كامل من ورة هذا الغش و الطمع مالتهم. حتى هذا اللي بالفيديو جان مستغرب يكول الرحلة كلها استغرقت عشرين دقيقة سياقة و هذا جاي يطلب منه ستين الف دينار
I exchange into local currency at airports before i leave. I also sleep well before touch down. I pay more so i can just get to my room.
Taxi from the airport is 10 times more expensive. Drivers must pay airport fees. You should know this. Even in England taking a taxi from the airport is much more expensive.
u didn’t get scammed bro when i went to iraq that’s actually how much it cost me 49 dollars
Why you didn’t visit the north of iraq
They say 60 but they mean 60k Iraqi because they nothing is meaning in hundreds it's in thousands so they not use to saying 1000s
there is a tip for the travelers at the end of the comment....
bro is right u got scammed but not from the driver but from the iraqi government it's not only u even the iraqi people pay the same it's something like taxes in UK lol so to be detailed : that's taxi thing in the airport is run by the government and the do this something like skimming and they devide it between the taxi company and some rolling party in the government it's like a contract .
Note the advice : if you are on low budget and u wanna jump in to the country like any local and pay the minimum.... here is the catch once u reach Airport u go down to the taxi stand u v to pay around 15k iraqi dinner ( 10-15 usd ) sharing taxi just to go out to the taxi yard outside the airport don't take taxi from there coz they are the same people who charged ya a lot inside the airport u v to jump walking a bit if u don't v too much weight with ya lol then find any taxi on the main road wave to the cars they ll stop for ya use google translate make sure to negotiate the process before u jump in and even if u go 2h distance u ll be charged max 10 - 20k iqd (7- 15 usd) make it totall around 25-40 usd best of luck hope u won't end up paying the same 😂
With all do respect could you please use the legit iraqi flag not the Saddam Hussain era one
That is the "real" iraqi flag.
Iraq was once great only under that flag
Bro You mistrust the driver. The taxi from the airport goes. The taxi company takes us from the airport to Baghdad at the same price that the driver told you, but he does not pronounce the price is correct. He did not deceive the you. The fees is 50 or 60 $
He didn't scam you...this is the amount from inside the airport to the city and this is what we pay as Iraqis too
This is a big problem when the us invaded Iraq they didn't need a translators cuz we all could speak little bit English, we had 0% uneducated ppl cuz we taught the world how to write and how to count, and now look st this shit, im so embarrassed that i would like to go back to 🇮🇶 and work as free translator to the ppl in need.
And remember, it was a woman named Enheduanna who was the first to write and not a man 😁
@Hmm-oc1wg she was sumerian from Mesopotamia and had 3 poems, insanely rich of history country that got robbed by thiefs.

I Can't Believe a taxi car 60$ wallahi Too much 😳😳😳😳😳
London price it is
How far is the airport?
he got scammed 1 dollar is 1171 iraqi dinar 😂😂
@@jsuave7
You are wrong, it was not focused on him, The fare from the airport is expensive. Even Iraqis are treated like this، We have to pay this cost
This is what happens when EUROPEAN colonizersapartheidregime BOMBED iraqi economics... people get motivated to extract more, especially forgneirs. Can you blame them? yes and no right?
Always pay in local currency. That's what I do.
Back n the day we would make a run to the airport on a frequent basis and based on where you’re staying that’s a fair price.
no way would I spent 50 dollars a night for that
who cares in London 100 pounds you spend at least.
Better to check out the exchange rate before you leave.home.
Isn't it 1308 iraq dinar to 1 dollar?
1$
=1.500
60000 = 45$
1500 not 1.500@@BEST_MAN98
60 thousand Iraqi dinars are equivalent to 46 dollars
the price from airport to anywhere around 60000 iqd wich around $45 usd he didnt lie lol but the taxi price inside baghdad is way cheaper
Brother the price from the airport to the hotel it’s expensive because the taxi driver pays for parking 🅿️ tickets 🎟️
you have a advanced cell phone in your hand bruh.. type translator into google from english to iraqi and boom.. your language problem is solved
Bro 60 to high just to get you from the airport I pay 25. You got finesse that’s why you gotta go to nice hotel they got people speak English
*You've paid more money for your hotel in Somalia compared to this one in Bagdad, simply because the demand for hotels in Somalia is higher than in Bagdad. I paid once £63 for a hotel room in Istanbul, where demand for hotel rooms is high at all times, and yours looks better compared to mine in Istanbul at the time. This is called "Law of supply and demand, in Economics.*
Great content.
I watched your video of Bolivia and wondering what’s your advice to an African who wants to retire in Bolivia?
Do you know agents in Bolivia who could assist with the process.
Your response will be appreciated
Slavery didn’t bring Black Iraqis there. Black people are indigenous to the entire planet and were there when the Asians invaded. Sad that you have no clue of this 😏
bro get an s24 livetime translation for everything both ways it's crazy
I think he was telling you that he did not have change in usd because as you handed him the money you asked for change.
Masha allah my bro
You really got finessed because you dont carry iraqi money.. lesson 1 when traveling exchane your currency XD
its fair no one scam him the taxi driver is a good guy its 50 dollars ( 50km distance).what he expect going to Somalia using a tuk tuk?
This what happens when you don't bother learning some of the native language you're travelling to. You get defensive and miscommunication happens. Not saying people wont bump you anyway but it helps alot.
Actually it's the fee 60000 Iraqi dinar almost 35-40$ even for Iraqis
60000 dinar would be 45.86 dollars
i hate scammers

Your taxi worked out to 4cents US. 0.046 is 4 cent.. if you gave him 1dollar US it would be 1,308.94 iraqi Dinar !!! He asked for 60 iraqi dinar ($0.4) you wanted to give him 60,000 iraqi dinar ($45.84). MAD

Taxi everywhere in the world, make a deal first, before even sitt in the car seat to avoid misunderstanding etc.
The best way to get from Baghdad Airport (BGW) to Iraq without a car is to taxi which takes 26 min and costs $50 - $65. How long does it take to get from Baghdad Airport (BGW) to Iraq? It takes approximately 26 min to drive 27.3 km from Baghdad Airport (BGW) to Baghdad. I agree that’s a rip off ,, it’s Iraq not London 😂😂
He was not scammed، He agreed with the driver 60,000 Iraqis, which is 46 dollars
Correct 👍
That’s how much it normally costs brodie.
