Living in the MARSHES OF IRAQ (Didn't Expect This)

This is real traveling. Getting to connect with locals and see the culture. Absolutely inspiring.

This is one of my favorite episodes. I have been very interested and studying ancient Iraq/Mesopotamia. The cities of Eridu, Ur, Uruk, Larsa, Umma, Lagash, Ninevah, and Babylon were the first major cities in the world. Iraq and the surrounding areas around and between the Tigris and Euphrates were the first to develop widespread irrigation and modern farming techniques. The culture is incredibly ancient. People have been living, fishing, farming, this rich cultural area for 10,000 years or more. What a rich culturual heritage.

Your ability to see goodness in people and different cultures is really worth preserving. Iraq is a ancient country with great tradition and culture. Thanks for logging your travels.

I am from Iraq and this man is my father. We live in the south of Iraq in the Marshes of Chabayish

I would love to visit this place and actually might ... such lovely, friendly, loving strong people. Never met an Iraqi in the US that wasn't honest and friendly, so I can only imagine how the people are there. Thank you for showing this side of the Country, it is priceless.

I don't know what to say about you, Eva zu Beck.. Through your eyes, I see something which always connect to real people. You are a such an inspiration.. May God bless you!!

Iraq is a beautiful, diverse, historical country, multicultural and multi-religious, and they live together in peace and love. Despite all the painful events that occurred in Iraq, the Iraqi people still preserve their own culture, hospitality, respect, and their beautiful lyrical and musical heritage. Greetings from Libya is for all the wonderful Iraqi people, and you are the amazing Eva Zu Beck.

Such beautiful, kind and generous people.

Your openness to other cultures is truly inspiring ❤️

Years ago i found a big photo book called the Marsh Arabs of Iraq in the library. It was made in 1950 and made a big impression on me.

I wish these marsh living people the best! Thank you for illuminating their life. I truly hope the marsh gets revitalized!

When we think of Irag, we always think otherwise, but it's so heartening to see such simple n peaceful people living happily.I too admire their simplicity n hospitality.Wish them peaceful existance in their future.As a traveller, if u love remote places or villages, u can visit our Nagaland, in the northeast India.
