A little trip to a traditional village in the mountains to buy some walnuts. No roads to the house, just beautiful views and a donkey helping us carry the walnuts back to the car. 🫏⛰️ Sometimes, the simplest experiences are the most beautiful.

We visited Amediya, Zakho’s historic bridge, Lalish, and Al qosh . One of the highlights was enjoying a fantastic traditional lunch with the local people in Lalish.

Beautiful places, rich history, and warm Kurdish hospitality!

Six Days Exploring Federal Iraq with Travelers from Singapore! 🇸🇬

It was a real pleasure to guide a wonderful father and son from Singapore on a six-day journey through federal Iraq.

Both were incredibly kind, friendly, and experienced travelers, and it was a pleasure to share Iraq’s rich history, ancient civilizations, culture, and traditions with them.

The son is a particularly remarkable traveler who has visited 191 countries around the world! Meeting people who have explored so much of our planet and hearing their stories is one of the things I love most about being a tour guide.

Thank you both for your trust, your great company, and the wonderful memories we made together. It was a pleasure showing you the beauty and history of Iraq.

I hope you take home unforgettable memories of Iraq, and I wish you many more amazing adventures around the world!

Welcome to Iraq, and thank you for traveling with me!

Eridu: A Place Where There Is Nothing to See, Yet So Much to Discover! 😅

At first glance, Eridu might look like nothing more than a few ancient mounds in the desert. But for those who love archaeology and ancient history, it is an amazing place to visit.

Just imagine walking through the remains of a city that dates back around 7,000 years, exploring one of the earliest urban settlements in human history. There may not be many standing structures to admire, but the feeling of walking through a place where ancient civilizations once flourished is truly special.

The only downside? The road to Eridu is in very poor condition, and getting there can be quite an adventure! 😂

Sometimes, the greatest historical treasures are not what we see, but what we imagine.

Eridu, southern Iraq — a remarkable place for anyone passionate about the origins of civilization.

Kurdistan is not just a destination; it’s a place where friendships become family.

It was a real pleasure to spend a wonderful day exploring the spiritual and historical treasures of Kurdistan with my dear friend and his mother.

Our journey took us to Lalish, the holiest temple of the Yazidi faith, and to the tomb of Prophet Nahum in Alqosh, a place rich in history and religious heritage.

My friend has visited Kurdistan several times over the years, and through these visits, our friendship has grown into something much deeper. Today, we are more like family than friends. This time, he brought his mother to discover the beauty, culture, history, and hospitality of our homeland.

For me, being a tour guide is not just about showing people places on a map. It is about sharing our history, introducing our traditions, creating unforgettable memories, and building friendships that last a lifetime.

Thank you, my dear friend, for your continued trust and for bringing your mother to experience Kurdistan. It was an honor to show her around and share another beautiful chapter of our friendship.

Welcome to Kurdistan, where guests arrive as visitors and leave as family.

It was a pleasure to spend four unforgettable days exploring Kurdistan with two wonderful Italian travelers 🇮🇹

One of them is a well-known travel influencer with more than 1.2 million YouTube subscribers and has visited over 150 countries around the world.

After experiencing Kurdish food during his journey, he told me that Kurdistan has the best food he has ever tasted.

Sharing the beauty, culture, hospitality, and food of my homeland with travelers from around the world is always a special experience.

Thank you for the great memories, and I hope to see you again!
