Thank you for showing how kind and open the Syrian people are. So sad that such a beautiful and history rich country has been torn apart by foreign powers. Keep up the good work! Much love from Tunisia ❤️

[@schwaiger1995]

''has been torn apart by foreign powers'' Conveniently ignoring their own goverment. Sure, it's always the fault of other people, right?

[@asiaa83]

because all the Syrian people who do bad and dirty work are in Turkey

[@sbadrawi2011a]

The country was torn apart by its dictator Assad before anyone else. It is the truth a lot of dictator-loving people refuse to admit.

[@tdrs1765]

Why foreign powers?

[@user-ef4on4ce4l]

كذاب مناطق النظام كلها حشيش ومخدرات وهذا تمثيل النظام يجيبهم على اساس الوضع فل

Syria is just a beauty and people are truly kind and hospitable.

[@dabbleandtravel]

So true

[@akbaba3435]

Then why don't the people in Turkey ,go back?

[@user-tf8df6rw2w]

​@@akbaba3435Everyone has their reasons. I am a 23-year-old Syrian. I left Syria because I did not want to join the army. There is compulsory military service that ranges from 4 years to 7 years. For the insane person who can escape and not escape, there is also a section of others who escaped because they are from cities in Syria that are considered afflicted, such as Raqqa. Idlib, Al-Hasakah, Deir ez-Zor. Do you think that those who lost their homes will return under difficult economic conditions, as salaries in Syria range from $40 to $80, and this is not enough to live a decent life?

[@user-tf8df6rw2w]

​@@akbaba3435Do you think that the whole of Syria is Damascus only? This is for a tourist who only visited one governorate. There are many governorates that are afflicted and destroyed.

[@user-tf8df6rw2w]

​@@akbaba3435No one likes to leave his country, friends, and relatives and live as a stranger. I left my country four years ago. I am forced to leave and leave my home and my family. I ran away from performing military service. I do not want to fight and die.

Great video! It’s awesome to see things getting better in Syria and that it’s safe enough for you and others to travel again. I visited before the war and it really changed me and the way I viewed the Middle East. Still to this day it’s the friendliest country I’ve visited. I’ll never forget arriving in Damascus and so many people coming up to me and saying “Welcome to Syria, you’re so welcome in our country”. Looking forward to seeing more and seeing how things have changed there!

[@dabbleandtravel]

Soooo true! Thanks so much for watching!

[@angeaelibou6073]

Today, you cannot be saved outside the Message of Prophet Kacou Philippe. Why? Because the Lord Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. What He did for the past generations, He will always do it. It is by a living prophet in your time that you must believe to be saved and it is the test of your time. You must overcome the churches and the seducers of your time and accept the only and unique prophet that mankind is fighting against to have eternal Life. He that has ears to hear, let him hear.

So a couple searching for fame and viwes visit the rich areas of Damascus, which are out of reach for 99,99% of Syrians and the conclusion is that things are getting better in Syria!!!

[@Evan_Gr]

​@@sbadrawi2011a And if they visited Idlib you'd be like "Oh yeah, this is it, thanks for support against dictator Assad. Syrian Opposition for the win"

Not too much has changed for tourism, still one of the best ones to visit. But the poor Syrians has suffered too much, these kind and loving people don't deserve that :(
