As a travel journalist, I had the unique opportunity to explore the hidden gems of Iraq with Mohammed, who assisted me in crossing the border. Our journey led us to Jassan, a captivating destination with rich history and breathtaking landscapes. Little did I know that our adventure would take us even further into the mountains, where Saddam Hussein once hid from the Americans.
Before reaching our destination, we were unexpectedly escorted to the police station. This unexpected twist added an element of suspense to our journey, but ultimately added to the authenticity of our experience in Iraq.
The upcoming episode promises to take viewers on a thrilling ride through the mountains of Iraq, offering a firsthand glimpse into the historic hideout of Saddam Hussein. From the stunning landscapes to the intriguing historical sites, this episode is sure to leave viewers on the edge of their seats.

Noraly, I presume you've tried the morning starts with a bit less or even no choke, right? 🤔
back music and the scenes ,
Noraly I read the comments, none of which are negative, and I marvel at what all this show of love must do for you and your spirit. Thank you for continuing to show us all your grace, your patience and respect for others. In a world such as this you are our shining bright light♥️ Ride on!
👍👍👍
Your passport will be falling apart at the end of this trip. It must have been checked 100 times already! What an adventure though.
This video was very interesting. I totally enjoyed it.
Cops and bikers the world over have no love lost , varying degrees of supposed security but mostly looks like self importance and BS,, Noraly we know what Ike you ride , bit more attention to what Mohamed’s riding , it’s a two stroke couldn’t see any branding ,thanks
The Western media is the one that distorted the image of Iraq and portrayed it to you as a dangerous, destructive country full of wars in order to scare you from the Arabs and divide the peoples, but the truth is completely different. Iraq is a safe country and our people are known for their generosity, hospitality and kindness. We are happy with the change, development and prosperity that is happening every day. Thank you, Nour Ali, for presenting the civilization and beautiful history of Iraq to the whole world. I hope you enjoy watching. I am from Baghdad.😊🤝💫
Animals are not our slaves or food please Go Vegan for life 💚🐾💚🌱🙏
Like dogs and cats, when you pet him, he wags his tail as a sign of satisfaction. Animals deserve to be loved and caressed, not captured and killed🙏 💚🌱💚🙏
I had to change my opinion I had of Iraq. A lot of kind people. Look like a great country.
Love from Multan Pakistan 🇵🇰✌️
WoW, this was a great video. Your life is full of adventure, the best one can have in life ❤
Not one woman besides Noraly..
What an amazing place and wonderful people. Shame on our politicians for wanting to war with them.
Why you are driving this history bike ? What is the reason ?
You have the most beautiful and amazing adventures, please be safe
Nice hospitality ❤❤👍
Mohamed rides incredibly well across that loose terrain considering he's on a road bike. It takes a lot of confidence and skill.
Have you seen which motorcycle Mohammed is riding? A MZ ETZ 250 from the GDR (East Germany)!
Amazing video 🤩
Я очень рад увидеть мотоцикл родом из ГДР и думаю этот мотоцикл даже старше чем Фрэнки…
The horse is gorgeous!
ben Türk’üm böyle anlayış😂 ile karşılaşmıyorum
bayan olmak gerekiyor herhalde
Fährt der Typ eine ETZ 250 aus Zschopau? 😮😮 Bin sprachlos!
Ost-Deutsche Qualitätsware. Hält ewig. Siehe Simson 😂
This is a good adventure well its clear state of Iraq is still tense hence the many roadblocks , but they seem good natured a willing to help.
Her name, her country and her smile opens all locks.
beautifull country… beautifull people!
Irak seems to have become a well organised country, with capable and disciplined policemen and soldiers, who are not threatening, but correct, even with the intention to help a foreigner if that is possible. Noraly is sometimes much better than those famous journalists of CNN, BBC or whatever.
Do these guys smile at their wives the way they smile at Noraly?
Noraly of Arabia
I’d suggest not putting on your helmet until the bike gets started in the morning .. you know it’s gonna be a work out and take a while
In the early 80s, Saddam was a driving force in the development of Iraq, Baghdad was a large construction site, good hospitals/all children went to school… However, things went wrong when he gassed the Kurds and drained the marsh to exterminate the people there who did not agree with his politics… unfortunately!
He is really nice 😊 but I was a little bit worried when the police took your passport.
Her zaman bilenle gezecen ağa 😂
What a journey!🎉 fantastic vibes with Mohammed
Mohammed the world loves you !!!
what I like about the Iraqi people is they have nothing compared to us here in the west yet they are happy, it tells you a lot about capitalism.
I wish I could give you a thousand thumbs up. Thank you for you work and the entertainment you provide. You Are soooo brave. Looking forward to the next episode Noraly😊
I love his ETZ250.
What is really missing in this video is more options to express my emotions when seeing these amazing sights and friendly people. I need to be able to like more points in the video. Really Amazing to watch your video again but this time it was even more special because you had someone who functioned as a guide in a country that is not very often showcased in a way that you did, but he was also as a liaison so you did not get stopped all the time like it so often happened . Thanks again looking forward to next real.
I can't belive my eyes, Mohammed drives a MZ 250. Wow! Greetings from GDR 😀
This is a message to the whole world to wake up and look at the world in the Middle East from a different perspective than the media that misleads you and continues to spread lies and fear. Our country is safe and stable, our people are loving, and every year more than 20 million tourists and visitors to the holy cities enter Iraq, and everyone praises the generosity and hospitality of the Iraqis. Iraq is the land of the two rivers and the oldest civilizations in human history, the land of the Babylonians, Sumerians and Assyrians. I hope you enjoy watching in my country. I am from Baghdad.
Both you and your trip are very tiring.
It's Mohammed bike an MZ ETZ 250? Runs like a desert fox. EDIT: Not pun intended. Greetings from Argentina.
lessons in how to be a proper tourist 🥰
Astonishing piece of land
Would I be wrong in saying these episodes with Mohammad might be the best Noraly has had? Thank you for bringing us along in all your journeys.
Muhammed has a good sense of humour 👌
Mohammed was an absolute legend. Showing you around, treating you to life in the country. Could not have asked for a better guide. Thank you Mohammed for showing us all your country, and thank you Noraly for documenting it all for us!
