my last day in Syria! Absolutely loved it! I hope tourism picks up soon and people see this for themselves

[@TheAmromalki]

Well, about the stadium with missing / ripped seats Syrian football fans are as you may describe “spirited” or in a much less finesse hooligans After a match they would ripe off the seats and throw it out onto the field They didn’t get replaced, bcz it just happens everytime

[@BackpackerBen]

Ahhhh I did think this 👀 what’s the point of destroying the seats 😂

[@youme1414]

There is more to be demanded in the maintenance of the stadium itself. This can't be blamed on hooliganism alone.

[@Hellastreet700]

Didn’t They Do Public Exaction’s There Back In The Day 😵

[@ALABBAS0]

I've been to syria 4 times now since the jordanian/syrian border opened in 2018 It's an amazing country glad that you enjoyed it You are welcome to my country jordan as well And btw "lebanon" is derived from the word "laban" which means white in hebrew and yougurt in arabic because of it's snow Also it's the only arabic country that has no desert

[@BackpackerBen]

I went Jordan ;) loved it!!

[@Squisky]

Interestingly in Bengali we say "Lobon" for salt. We can also say "nun" for salt. In Hindi "namak" is salt.

[@chrise842]

Are the Lebanese Arabs or Phoenicians?

[@ALABBAS0]

@@chrise842 That is a very complicated question to answer. I will give you the simple answer, which is that they're arab. It depends on what do you mean by arab. An acceptable definition would be someone who speaks arabic, lives in an arabic country, and have the arabic culture. By that definition people of the levant are arab. But ethnically it's much more complicated than that. Even some levantine arabs are not Arabs nor Phoenicians, they are of greek origins.

I advise you to visit Lattakia, which is located on the coast, which is very beautiful .. you will find charming nature there😍

[@BackpackerBen]

@@suanoman8471 any tips on going? what to see?

[@suanoman8471]

@@BackpackerBen Currently, in Oman, the temperature has begun to rise gradually in general. Tourists usually come in the months of November, December and January and the temperatures are very nice. In the Omani capital, Muscat, you can visit the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, the old Muttrah market, and visit the Al Alam Palace where Sultan Haitham resides. There are many resorts and hotels. For example, the Al Bustan Palace Hotel. You can go on a cruise to the Daymaniyat Islands and camp there. Nizwa castle, which was built in the 17th century and also has the Green Mountain. You will need a car (4×4) to climb the mountain to a height of about 3000 meters and there are many hotels. You can also go to the Wilayat of Bidiyah, very suitable for camping among the sand dunes. Finally, I advise you to watch the videos of those who visited Oman to Know more about Oman and choose the right time to make the trip. Note : my English is not good enough💔

I was amazed how much the Syrian people love their president. They put their president’s photos everywhere, I hope that you have a chance to bring dozens of these photos with you to the UK to show the British how much they need to love their leaders.

[@BackpackerBen]

this would never happnen in the UK lol
