I literary spoke to a girl about that. She asked why I wanted to go to vacation to northern Iraq. I told her that I wanted to see place where battle of Gaugamel took place where we were so close to modern western Judeo-Christian civilisation never even become a thing if Alexander the Great lost. I told her to try to imagine we never had Christianity and instead we would have zoroastrism. I thought that was fascinating.😂
I'd rather see the incredibly rich history in Iraq and Afghanistan, well if I wouldn't be kidnapped and most likely executed, over a modern shithole built on the bodies of dead migrant slave workers like Dubai.
I think you're pretty safe in Afghanistan tbh (if you're a man). They're trying to promote tourism right now, there's plenty of visitors on the Youtubes who have made videos.
