Much respect towards Syria and Bashar Al Assad for defeating American, Saudi and NATO Backed Sunni Rebellion and Sunni ISIS and saving the Syrian People and it's Culture. I hope Syria Rises up with it's rich cultural and civilization. Huge Respect for Syria.

[@anmarjourieh1957]

Great video. Only a comment I have, you said the bag costs 30,000 syrian bounds, and that equals less than 9 Dollars, not 15. I hope you likes your stay in spite of the after-war sadness.

A strange and conflicting feeling, happy and sad at the same time, that the one who left the country cannot return. The rest of the world can visit at any time. If I return, I will be taken to serve in the army and fight against my country so I left, and of course after I lost my family "that is, they were killed during the war". After all the video made me smile with all my heart. Thank you ❤❤❤❤

Great video. You mentioned Hammams a couple of times. There was a lovely programme on RTE last night about lost Ireland, featuring buildings that are no more.

Hi Janet nice meeting you, Thank you for the great shots you posted here from Syria, Syria always has a great history. Your guide is very calm and seems to know nothing about this country. The bread I've seen no bread looks like some kind of stuffed whipped cream or hot pancake. As each of these Qatayef usually folded after stuffing with walnuts or cream and then fried and then sweetened, these are long recipes to explain here now and raw green olives and this is a long story to say that Syria has planted 50 million different types of olive trees, I will come back to watch all your video Thanks again, Greetings from the Pacific Ocean.♥♥♥
