Is Iraq Dangerous? (Solo in Baghdad)
In the latest episode of my travel series, I return to Iraq, diving deep into the bustling streets of Baghdad to answer the burning question: “Is Iraq safe?” This thought-provoking video offers a nuanced perspective on the current state of safety in Iraq, juxtaposing common misconceptions with firsthand experiences.
Join me as I explore the vibrant city of Baghdad solo, soaking in its rich culture, historic sites, and local cafes. From the lively atmosphere of popular hangouts to encounters with new friends, I aim to paint a vivid picture of daily life in this complex country.
Throughout the video, I share insights from locals who challenge the prevailing narratives about Iraq’s safety. You’ll hear from Baghdad residents who provide a refreshing outlook on the changes their city has witnessed over the years and dispel stereotypes typically portrayed in the media.
Additionally, I’m excited to announce my upcoming group trip to Iraq in December 2025. If you’re intrigued and wish to join this unique travel experience, all the details, including the itinerary and booking options, are available on my website.
