Hey all!

Me and some friends are looking to traveling to syria this year (around november). We would be in Damascus for roughly a week. Two of our travelpartners are people original from syria who will help us with the language and local costums.

What we are wondering is how is the current safety situation on the ground. It's really hard to assess just based on western media and I would love some insight from people who live there or have reseantly traveled to Syria.

Salam everyone, I’m a Lebanese-Syrian alawite living in the US.

As the title says, I understand that now religious freedom and equality and fair treatment is a big part of rebuilding Syria, but is it really safe for alawiye to walk around Syria? I know what happened after the previous regime fell and I don’t want to have to experience that or risk myself (although I know it has been dealt with).

I want honest answers, not what is suppose to be but what is actually. I know many still carry hatred towards my people, however justified or unjustified it may be, but I have friends who I hold dear there and I would love to see again.

I do not support the actions of the previous regime or anything, just in case you were wondering. They did terrible crimes against the people of Syria, even alawite, and ruined the beautiful country.

I'm looking for a group to buy n sell used items in syria on telegram or here.

Blowing out our eardrums everywhere!

Is there any plan by the government to replace this junk with something quieter, more civilized, and cute, like a freaking Vespa?

My blood pressure skyrockets every time one of these things rips by.

Hey-everyone hope you all doing great! What are the best foods you would recommend for someone planning to visit Syria for a good 1 month? And what spots and areas would you recommend them to try it from to get authentic feel? Please feel free to give the best and the most finest recommendations as we plan to visit your lovely country soon!!!

The event was held on the occasion of St Simeon the Stylite's feast day, according to the Christian calendar.

The column of St Simeon was restored last month in the Basilica

Hi, I set this up in a complicated way and I am now lost on how to navigate.

I bought plane tickets to go from US to Istanbul, stay a few days, then fly to Aleppo via Turkish Airlines, stay a couple weeks, then cross by land to Beirut, then fly from Beirut back to the US.

I am a Syrian-American dual citizen
My Syrian passport is expired
I have a Syrian birth certificate
I have a valid US passport

But I am not sure if I will need a visa to go from Istanbul to Syria. And I have no clue how the crossing to Lebanon will work. Honestly my head is spinning trying to find official sources. Has anyone done something similar and can help clarify what my best options are?

I emailed the consulate in Istanbul but heard responsiveness is mixed. This is all supposed to happen October 5th

Thank you in advance

So I am trying to send from US but the app is asking me for middle name in which recipient doesn’t have. Do you use the father and mother name from the Syrian passport?

EDIT:

Sending USD from the US is not allowed

Anyone here tried using proctortrack in Syria? Not sure if it works there and I’m not sure if I can use vpn too.

Hello all,

The man pictured is my father. I have no leads on him and I would like to find him and talk to him. If you know anything, please let me know. Thank you.

How is the military being restructured in syria? Is it changing to mirror another country?

Hi all,

I visited Syria last time in August 2025 with a friend, I really loved it and want to return in March 2027 with my wife.

How are things? What has changed since then? How do you think Syria will change further the coming time?

All the best

Hi Everyone.

I am planning to visit Syria in October, October 6th to be specific for a tour starting from 6th to 17th with the Tour starting from 7th to 16th October. I have approached Syrian Guides for their 10 day tour and they applied for my security clearance yesterday aka the 2nd of September. I did not know a security clearance is required and it takes 30 days approximately to get the same.

Has anyone got their security clearance faster? Is there anyway to expedite this? They are saying it would not be wise to book the tickets before I get this clearance, but the tickets will become super expensive if I wait to book it till the last few days.

Secondly, what document will I have to show when I leave Mumbai (Indian) airport when I travel for this trip. I am sure they will have a lot of questions as to why I am going here. Will the tour agency provide some letter for this as I am sure the Indian visa officer when I exit, will have a lot of questions.

Can someone please guide as to how to go about with this? Can I approach the Syrian government guys myself on some email address and ask them to expedite?

Looking forward to visiting Syria, its been a dream for me since 10 years and finally I am just a month away and all these road blocks are just appearing
