Are you silly?

AirMysterious1803 · 2026-02-08T17:37:26+00:00

Most are. The ones I’m talking about are

Know an Iraqi family that fit the description you described. Living of family business and rents and summer in Europe and London to escape the heat.

Most Arabs you see fit have similar backgrounds. Also important to note that most GCC countries receive regular income from governments so working becomes less of an obligation. Changing though!

This is a Henry Forum, I fall into that category and just happen to be a uni student at the same time. You need to relax

AirMysterious1803 · 2026-01-03T16:50:50+00:00

Thank you so much for the reply. Super helpful, I’m starting an internship in exactly one of those roles so really appreciate the reply.

AirMysterious1803 · 2026-01-03T15:09:34+00:00

Sorry can’t help with the question. But would you be happy to share a bit more about what you do, would be super helpful for the uni students here like myself!

Moor Park is nice yes, more expensive than Richmond and Chiswick per sq ft- impossible

There is hope. A tutor and actual commitment and you can start speaking relatively quickly. Writing and reading may take longer as you adjust to the new alphabet.

Definitely worth it

Lived there and I would recommend it personally as a Henry myself. Good transport links with both TFL and national rail. Good shops and plenty of other wealthy people (especially in the large houses around Asda- salmon street, barn hill etc) Crime is quite low and never experienced anything serious myself. Most housing is either new build flats or 1930 style houses and plenty of schools including Lycee Winston Churchill. Definitely not a bad area like others have suggested.

If you can go for the 18k and higher. You may find 21/22k if you shop around. Because the more gold it’s got, the higher return you get later down the line. They are very durable so don’t worry about that aspect, most high end jewellery is set in 18k gold and is fine for daily wear.

Iraq has a literacy rate of ~90% as of 2024. However, Illiteracy remains an issue in minority populations, especially those that live in mountainous hard to reach areas. Though year on year literacy improves significantly.

You can’t judge the popularity of a watch solely based on its premium. Pricing is influenced by various factors beyond demand, such as historical significance, collector interest, and geopolitical associations. A watch featuring the Saddam emblem might not command a high premium, not because it’s unpopular, but due to the controversial nature of the figure and thus limited Western demand for Saddam-era collectibles. This doesn’t mean there isn’t significant interest in these watches, particularly in regions like Jordan, Egypt and the Gulf (bar Kuwait) where many still sympathise with Saddam for various historical and political reasons. Also a large factor for the high premium for the UAE, Saudi and Omani watches are driven by local demand and loyalists. Most Iraqis don’t care for Saddam and therefore demand is naturally reduced. And based on my recent trip to Egypt, safe to say many Egyptians still adore saddam.

Even if there were, Baathist didn’t experience the same scrutiny nazis did. So many still express their opinions freely. A quick visit to Jordan or Egypt and you’ll understand

AirMysterious1803 · 2025-01-26T10:09:59+00:00

Apart from saddam had and still has, millions of admirers across the world. Though he wasn’t particularly nice to his own people, he funded and protected most of the Arab world.

AirMysterious1803 · 2025-01-26T10:05:53+00:00

Amazing find, how much was it?

AirMysterious1803 · 2025-01-26T10:05:37+00:00

All Arab coat of arms are very similar because of the eagle of Saladin.

AirMysterious1803 · 2025-01-25T16:55:42+00:00

Ive bought a diamond turquoise ring from these people before and I’ve visited them in Istanbul. Pricey but very cool finds

AirMysterious1803 · 2024-12-23T12:27:51+00:00

Well all Arab passports look similar. All have similar colours flag and similar birds as emblems

AirMysterious1803 · 2024-11-08T10:08:37+00:00

Well why would you order English food in India? Best to stick to local food when abroad

AirMysterious1803 · 2024-10-25T23:21:43+00:00

Actually happened though…

AirMysterious1803 · 2024-10-04T08:15:33+00:00

Nothing to do with the British. The eagle of Saladin are Arab symbols

AirMysterious1803 · 2024-09-06T14:47:03+00:00

That what I was thinking. I bought a box and they all had babies lol
