I Just Returned From A 10 Day Trip To Syria As A Tourist, And It’s Very Different From What Media Tells Us

In October was I lucky to get granted a proper 10-day tourist visa after almost 10 weeks of waiting for the paperwork.

I was completely free to walk around the cities on my own. During my visit did I visit Damascus – Aleppo – Homs with the countryside and Tartous and the coast.

Yes, there´s destructions in Syria but A LOT less than excepted. I was even granted full access to inside Aleppo Citadel. Supermarkets are just as well stocked as in the west and people go partying in bars in the weekend.
