The HARDEST Place to visit in IRAQ: HATRA🇮🇶 العراق: اصعب مكان للزيارة في العراق ( الحضر )🇮🇶
#Hatra #IraqVlog #Irak
This isn't supposed to be a Vlog full of Historical facts about Hatra...because there are way too many for my head, This was pretty much last minute as i had almost given up on trying to get there. I just wanted to see if i could get there without paying hundreds for a guide! there are a few people that call themselves tour guides that are charging people $300 to go there! One said it was for the entrance fee, Permit and bribes there was none of that when i went ...i did go wit a local in a taxi, and had Ahmed the helpful policeman also give mr some numbers and advice!
It was amazing to be there ....please note also, i refer to the Hashd as the Militia because in western countries they don't know the Hashd and i looked at other Vloggers that had gone to Samarra to see how they referred to some of these checkpoints.
We ended up paying about $30 each for the taxi there and back

TIKRIT: From Baghdad to Tikrit ! A few hours in Tikrit ( didn’t expect this ) 🇮🇶
#Tikrit #IraqVlog #SpeicherMassacre
This is a little backwards as the 2 mosul ones were last minute, one was just an update and one was the sandstorm. i hadn't got round to editing this one yet ( i have more on Mosul im working on )
I had planned o make a quick stop in Tikrit on my way, i had met a couchsurfer that was going to show me around, i also had a friend from Baghdad call some people in Tikrit to allow me to film. We went to ask at the Hashd Checkpoint if we could get closer to the Palaces, they were expecting me which was weird. i had to wait for the Hashd boss to come , and along with him and his 2 armed guards ,they took me to the site of the Speicher Massacre! I was a bit shocked as i had no idea as to what actually happened here....im not sure many people in the west know about this either. They were with me all the time so i had to be careful what i filmed and what i didn't, he would explain everything in Arabic to my friend , who then translated in english, then i had to talk, with all of them watching me ..not my usual vlogging experience! A place thats not an easy place to visit as the security to get in was crazy..I have seen the actual ISIS video of what happened here and its horrific. They also killed hundreds in mass graves. these were just young unarmed army cadets. The second deadliest terrorist attack next to 9/11 yet not so many people know about this one.
if i look a bit speechless at times, its because i was, from what i was being told, and the whole situation i was in...i wish i had known more about this place before i went, so i was a bit more knowledgable about things ..but i didnt know i was going here! this vlog is AD Free...so i make no money from this .....i hope others in other countries will see what happened here. Huge thanks to Abdu , my Couchsurfing contact in Tikrit for taking me around and making sure I got a taxi to Mosul ! Everyone is so helpful to tourists in Iraq !

RAMADI: TOTALLY DESTROYED , TO THIS !🇮🇶 الرمادي من الدمار للعمار🇮🇶
#Ramadi #IraqVlog #AlAnbar
After my Last trip to Fallujah, someone contacted me and asked me to come to see Ramadi! I had wanted to go there anyway so it was a perfect opportunity!
Although this is not how i normally travel, i usually just wing it and go with the flow, this was a bit more organised by various people, too many to name but everyone in the video i want to thank so so much for a wonderful stay in Ramadi! The Womans day was quite inspirational, considering everything everyone has been through here, like many places here in Iraq, everyone has such resiliance!
Ramadi was totally destroyed , the USA Dropped apparently 600 bombs here trying to get rid of ISIS! They got ISIS out, along with Iraqi ground troops but like i said, the cost of that was losing the city....but its all recovered now!! everything is new, new buildings, hotels, amazing people! Anbar area has so many beautiful areas and the colors of the river are amazing!!
Thanks to EVERYONE in Ramadi!! def worth a visit and so close to the ancient Heet ( coming up )

FALLUJA IRAQ : SOLO TOURIST GOES TO FALLUJA🇮🇶Solo Female Travel Iraq 🇮🇶
#Falluja #IraqVlog #Iraq
I spent 2 days in Fallujah , but i will be going back as i promised id go back to focus on my friend Hawther's NGO foundation she runs ( she's the girl i met on Couchsurfing) Fallujah is a place i needed more than a short vlog like this , there are so many things i didn't know....like the cancer rates and horrific birth deformities still happening today are crazy!! i knew the cancer rates in Iraq were high because of the wars , and its been linked to uranium and some other chemicals the USA used in 2004 , although they denied it , there was some pretty clear evidence that showed they has used these things...i was horrified at the photos of the child deformities!! but ill leave that for another vlog.....this was me meeting the locals and walking through the old 'Souks markets..i took a walk through the market that sells mainly mens things , then the womens things, the people i met were the loveliest warmest people, always with a smile on their faces , despite what they have been through.... Fallujah it was a pleasure, and i will be back soon !!!

KIRKUK IRAQ : ANCIENT CITADEL AND MODERN KIRKUK🇮🇶Solo Female Travel Iraq 🇮🇶
#Kirkuk #Iraq #IraqVlog
I was again contacted by one of my subscribers to visit her in Kirkuk , i took along my new French friend Amel, who has been travelling to a few places with me since she arrived.
my Host was an amazing woman, with 2 amazing kids, the oldest is just 10 but her English is amazing!!!
we tried to go to Citadel the first day but it was closed, but made it the next day!
the ruins seemed to go on forever
Some Historians believe the Gutians that built the Citadel(based on an old Cuniform tablet)
While other historians believe it was built during the reign of the Assyrian King Ashur Nasirpal II between 850 and 884 BC
There is the Phrophet Daniel Mosque here and the Al Aryan Mosque which is the one right in the centre.......this is just some brief research i did on UNESCO website but it goes on forever, way to much to write here! i wish i had more time in Kirkuk, but ill be going back soon. SO not what i expected to see in Kirkuk! about # and a half hours by shared taxi from Baghdad

More of Saddams palace, Camp Prosperity
This is one of Saddam's wife's three palaces in Baghdad. It was bombed all to hell, and then looted by Iraqis at the beginning of the war.
It is currently being rebuilt, so that it can be given back to the Iraqi people.
It is also the home of Camp Prosperity. One of many camps for Coalition Forces in Baghdad, at the edge of the Green Zone.
I thought I'd be staying here for the remainder of my embed. I was sorely mistaken. This place was nice, wifi, PX, and local merchants selling stuff. I also got my first shower in 5 days here, and a decent nights sleep in a private room. The last privacy I would have for two weeks
