SYRIA | What's It Like to be a Tourist in Damascus?

My trip to Syria was one of the most eye-opening journeys I've ever made. It was tough to reconcile my awareness of the recent tragic conflict in the country, with the beauty and positivity I experienced there... But certainly, the people of Damascus MADE my visit. Thank you to everyone who welcomed me there with open arms.
Please note: this vlog documents my personal trip to Syria, as a tourist. It is not necessarily a travel recommendation, nor a commentary on the political climate, nor an attempt to show the ordinary life of Syrian citizens.

Damascus only reflects the beauty of its visitors, if you can see and appreciate its beauty, then you are a beautiful person yourself, thats what I believe. Thank you for appreciating those simple gifts, it shows what a kind hearted person you are. Finally as a hardcore party animal, I’m a bit sad you didn’t show night life in damascus :p. It too has a tase of its own. Also, rest assured you are always welcome, you have got yourself another home. Greetings

Everytime I visit my Grandparents, I look at all their photoalbums. Around 4 years ago, I found their Album of their visit in Syria in the 70s. They had endless stories of the love and warmth from strangers and about the beauty in Damascus. It was the first time seeing a different picture than just war. I came to tears thinking how this magical place is mostly destroyed. Around that same time I have made a friend from Syria who fleed to Germany. One of the smartest, open minded and self-reflected persons I have ever met. Shortly after my mom rented a room to someone from Syria, who became a very close family friend. This video brought me to tears and gave me hope. May there come peace to you beautiful people. I dream of visiting Syria one day.

I never thought that i can be this emotional while watching a vlog. I cried for the entire time that I was watching. I cried for all lost lives, families exploited and beautiful country destroyed by war. Nonetheless, it’s so heart-warming to witness their kindness despite of everything they have been to, and is going through, their respect to humanity remains. My heart and prayer for all the people of Syria. Thank you for this remarkable vlog!

Thank you. that's all what they need people like u to understand that they they deserve to live in peace in their country without interfering of foreign countries.

Thank you so much for coming to Damascus! It's really heartwarming to see how people are surprised when experiencing the differences between genuine Syria and the way it is depicted abroad! Next time you come, you should definitely have a look at Semiramis pastry shop, or the Bab Touma's neighborhood. As a French-Syrian national, I remember I had to fast before going to Damascus every summers just to make sure I would still fit in my clothes when back in Europe. Syria is a dangerous country, but only when it comes to calories. Damn, now I'm hungry. Time to cook some Knaffeh.

As a girl living in Damascus: 3:08 made me laugh because that's exactly how everyone reacts when someone has a camera and is talking. Especially if you're speaking english. Yes I've recorded before and people saw me speaking english in that exact area- I wanna know where that Karaoke place is in 3:36 so I can go with my friends. That ice cream shop Bakdash, that cafe Nofera (Where she heaed the storyteller), that main shop, etc are all areas I really enjoy visiting. If you would like to visit Syria visit Old Damascus. It shows all the culture and other things that everyone should view. I'd also like to say that I've lived in Damascus, Syria my entire life, and I've enjoyed every bit. Sure, it may seem sad and devoid of hope sometimes but in reality you make the hope. I've made my own happiness here, and I'll never not be proud of being Syrian.

As a Pakistani, I completely understand and have lived through the ravages of terror as well as experienced the damaging consequences of negative stereotyping. You're a strong people and Insha'Allah will conquer this crisis, heal and rebuild your country. Just hang in there. So much of love and blessing to the remarkable people of Syria from Pakistan :)

I have to say, Fatima, that what I have seen of so many people there, with their shops, businesses, Great food and aritisians ect in many recent travel videos on KZbin there is a friendly and welcoming pressence there. I didn't know too much about Syria's culture before this conflict, but its been a joy to see more and more of your country since the conflict ended. I don't ever let the disagreements between foreign policy or our leaders, dictate meeting really great people in your country. I wish the best for you all.

As a Syrian, I'm very impressed and apreciating your initiative to bring this video from Syria to the world, although I'd love if you could (the next time) try to shed light on other aspects and activities from Syria (as almost everyone who visits Syria visits the very same places: Umayad mosque, Nofara cafe (where the story-telling activity takes place), and the Bakdash ice cream)! I'd personally love to show places/activities such as: - The Opera House in Damascus, where you can also see theater and musical plays; - Visiting the mountains at the Mediterranean cost and other cities, such as Kassab (where you can see forests) and Slenfeh and Drekish (where you can see rivers and lakes), - Voluntary activities, which have emerged during the war to help internally-displaced or injured people, or to clean the cities or to help women work from home. ..etc. - Or simply talking to people more, so folks watching the video know that people, who are still in Syria are just normal people, who are mostly open-minded and well educated, which is more important for me than showing the old or traditional things :) best regards

Guys, Damascus is safe and beautiful and good to live in as long as you are not an opponent of the regime. But I dare you to go to other parts of the country. It´s good to see the people of a country not only as victims, but at the same time, please keep in mind that she is filming from a very privileged perspective. The Syrian people I now can only dream of a vacation there like that. They probably wouldn´t survive it.
