Inside War-torn Syria

Media was telling everyone how bad Assad was and he has to go, same scenario like with Russia now. So it looks like to me Assad was not the problem but NATO and allies funding terrorist groups to destroy Sirya. If russian wouldn't intervene probably would end like Afganista, iraq, and other "eliberated" countries

Exactly that's what i thought

[@AntoinMhicArtain]

I didn't even think of this until I read what you wrote and now I have read it, you are 100% right. I was wondering before however, how on Earth did they manage to get visa's into Syria on normal British passports? You answered that question. Thank you.

I'd assume that to get a tour guide license in Syria you have to support Assad. He really does "bend" the facts, making it sound like every destroyed building is because of the rebels, and none because of pro Assad forces (Syrian army, Hezbollah, Russia)

[@معاذيرالوقت]

@@tFighterPilot Absolutely true, and also we see images in which destruction can only occur with weapons such as aviation or huge missiles, not just guns and RPGs lol

Brilliant video. Can't wait for more content from you Simon.

[@KhaledAlsafadi]

Hi Simon I have been a longtime fan of your channel and I enjoyed all the content since the early travels and challenges. I really get the idea of how catchy and good content for KZbin this extreme type of video. And I am assuming that you are not oblivion to the whole conflicts regardless of how or why. But to present the country as a good destination to travel as if it’s available for whoever when millions of Syrian people can't go back fearing prosecutions and other consequences is undermining a lot of people minds who have been suffering in this conflict for over 10 years now. Unfortunately you are not the only one who are being encouraged with these ideas, only if you are facilitated by the regime you can move that freely, only by the regime approval you can film, please don’t be part in a bigger scheme where the regime is presenting the country as a valid destination for tourism after all the horrible things that have been to the people by this regime. I hope you get the chance to read this comment and once you are in a more free space I hope that you address the situation and not undermining the whole conflicts, presenting the situation as a black and while where anyone can just go there and have a good time. it’s not like this, unfortunately.

I don't believe that is entirely correct. Of course, many Syrians can't come back, but that's not a unique thing about Syria (this is in every government in the world). and secondly, yes, you can move that freely from Damascus to Homs / Aleppo / Latakia/ or anywhere in the country without facilitations from "the regime". Not only Simon's videos show this, but all other bloggers who traveled to Syria. I'm not a big fan of the regime either, but stop relating everything in the country with the regime! , he was describing Syria as it is, as a foreigner seeing it for the first time, and as a Syrian myself, I can say he has done a great and honest job!

[@omarino.]

Why do you guys refer to politics in every possible thing , just leave the man alone , he enjoyed his trip , loved the people and pretty much just had a good time, why making things bigger than what they really are ?

[@tamimboubou]

@@omarino. That's what I'm trying to say

[@molly6711]

Wow, just incredible how different this country is to how it’s portrayed. Well done guys

[@bboystretch7788]

Same with North Korea

[@mattpeacock1435]

Need more bald. Was really looking forward to seeing the 2 of you travel together, 2 of my favourite travel youtubers. But you may as well be travelling by yourself - barely saw him this vid other than a cameo at the end.

[@MasterChiefHomer]

Absolute awesome video Simon. It's really interesting to see this country thru the perspective of a "tourist" and not thru news and stuff. Hope to see u and bald collaboration in the near future again!

[@egidhesen8305]

Good to see that people can come back and see what has happened in Syria. You have only toured the government controlled areas, there is still much more interesting things to see and know in other places in the north and north east, more amazing cultural diversity, there you might also encounter European or American soldiers. Hope you do more videos about Syria in the future. Thank you.
