Traveling in to Syria in 2023 is not easy. The country is in the midst of recovering from a 12 year civil war, and entry is restricted, crossings in to this ancient land can only be made by land, from Lebanon or Jordan. We have wanted to travel to Syria for years, the cities of Damascus & Aleppo are some of the oldest & most incredible on Earth and its incredible culture, people and food have always fascinated us. In the heart of the Middle East, in what was Mesopotamia, and on the ancient Silk Road, Syria is at the cross road of civilisations. Even in its very recent history, Syria has been controlled by both the Ottoman's, the French to name a couple. Each different country has left its mark on Syria, making it one of the richest & most beautiful cultures not just in the Arab world, but on Earth.
Our journey starts in Beirut Lebanon, where we were picked up early in the morning and driven to the border, before attempting to cross in Syria and head straight for Damascus, the historic capital of the country.
Join us for one of the most intense travel days and overwhelming, interesting and crazy weeks in our lives. Welcome to Syria.

    Syria is amazing and so underrated. Wish I can go there soon. Lots of love from 🇬🇷
  • @fatimaayesh7
    It's emotional watching this, it appeared on my feed, and I was wondering what my country is like nowadays. I can see how your non-stop smiles and enthusiasm to explore this land transmitted energy to every stranger who appeared on camera who's otherwise trying to find a reason to be positive. Keep them coming :)
  • @aliib116
    You're most welcome. As syrians , we are incredibly glad to see you in our country, bringing all the positivity and real facts of Syria to the light. We appreciate that and hope you have an amazing trip in your second home. ❤️❤️

    This is the first time I've seen a travel vlog from Syria and it's so fascinating! The media usually shows Syria in a very different & negative way so I'm happy to see you documenting your travels there and showing the beautiful sides. It's hearthbreaking to see so many parts of the world, including Syria, being at war and people having to leave their homes. It would be super interesting to travel to this part of the world myself, really hope I'll be able to visit Syria and other countries in the region someday.
  • Visited Syria a few times. Wonderful country. Friendly people and a rich history.
  • From Damascus, Syria All love and respect to every person who loves my country, Syria, and loves the Syrians 🇸🇾❤
  • @Nighthawk2211
    It's nice to see you both speechless! The Syrian people are so lovely. And so are you.
  • @janicecorera
    beautiful architecture, markets and great food. Damascus is magical with its uniqueness. Its sad that such a beautiful country was destroyed.
  • @kaisersoeze

  • @simonsmith5625

  • @suenossh1413

    Syria ,the Syryains and Damascus is definitely one of my top 5 cities in the world …so far I’m enjoying your video….Alex 🇬🇷
  • @Rubelkoenig
    Syria always interested me. I started to learn about the country when the war started and I was a teenager. And yeah, I'm still into it and once I want to travel there as well. So thanks for your video, nice and informative as always! :)
  • @kasperspardigm
    Just met a guy from syria at my local Burger King. (Dude didn't know what anything on the menu was) helped him find he tea and asked him where he was from due to his strong accent...... We're all human beings with so much wisdom tht can be shared amongst eachother.
  • @louispaine5307
    Incredible. Only a few years ago it was one of the most darkness times in recent history In Syria , and then to see how open people are to tourists and the feeling or normality returning is beautiful . I don’t think I could have seen anything like this had I not subscribed to your channel . 😊 Thank you .
  • You guys are at the top of your game filming. The lens does not lie. The city of Damascus and Aleppo has its challenges. They are on the road to recovery. Friendly and Forthcoming are the people. The food was so good. Harriet was there many years ago as part of team of students from Harvard. Thank you for your incredible work doing this video.🙏💕🙏 Sending you much love and affection from Richmond, Va. Harriet, Jim and Yuki P.S. Looking forward to so much more👍👍
  • @rossbarlow6355
    I watched start to finish and like Julia I was stuck for words. My brain is still processing it all. Now a few hours later this message of this video is clear to me. "nothing can keep the human spirit down". No matter where in the world you go, no matter what the adversity, the human spirit rises above it all😪 Thanks for a wonder video❤
  • @joannem6878
    I look forward to your videos and this one was extra special. I have to admit that I was surprised at the friendliness towards visitors. Your camera showed people going about their daily business as usual and I admire them especially after the terrible earthquakes. I wish them well and hope for no more devastation for them to fear and endure.
  • @elviraangyal1005
    Thank you so much for this video! You moved me to tears! Greetings from Croatia! 🌼
