    🇸🇾 Street Food in Damascus: • First Time in Syria!! ...
    ► Contact Rami from Syrian Guides: syrianguides.com/
    DAMASCUS, SYRIA - Welcome to the ancient city of Damascus, and today we’re going on a food tour to walk around the souq, then we’ll eat a legendary ice cream - probably one of the craziest ice cream shops in the world, and then we’ll eat a huge homestyle Syrian meal!
    Beit al-Mamlouka Hotel (maps.app.goo.g...) - To begin this Syrian food tour in Damascus, we’re starting with breakfast at our boutique hotel. Syrian breakfast is fantastic!
    Abu Shaker (maps.app.goo.g...) - Abu Shaker is legendary in Damascus for serving huge smoothies and milkshakes. Price - 30,000 SYP ($2)
    Al-Hamidiyeh Souq - To continue this Syrian food tour in Damascus, we walked through Al-Hamidiyeh Souq, a market full of action where people come to buy just about everything.
    Bakdash Ice Cream (maps.app.goo.g...) - This ice cream shop is without a doubt the most famous ice cream in Damascus and it’s even famous throughout the Middle East. They make a special type of ice cream that’s pounded in a freezer cylinder and topped with crushed pistachios.
    Naranj Restaurant (maps.app.goo.g...) - After some Syrian street food in the morning, we continued to Naranj Restaurant that serves some of the best homestyle Syrian food in Damascus. They prepared a massive mezze spread along with some of their signature dishes including kibbeh nayyeh, and lamb with bulgur.
    Al Nawfara Café (maps.app.goo.g...) - Located on the edge of Umayyad Mosque is Al Nawfara Café, a 400 year old cafe where you can go to still listen to a storyteller!
    ► Huge thank you to Rami, from Syrian Guides (syrianguides.c..., he arranged my entire trip to Syria. Get in touch with him for an amazing tour in Syria!

    I am from Yemen and and I was educated in Damascus Syria in the 1980s. I received a degree in Internal medicine. All expenses were paid by the Syrian government. I will be indebted to The Syrian government and people forever. The Syrian people are resilient, they will overcome the current obstacle. May allah protect Syria and its people. 🙏

      Do you know that Syria in the early twentieth century and under the ottoman empire had the third of it's population as Christians😮 , and after European christian colonization carried out by french in Syria and in Lebanon and Britain in Palestine, which decomposed the ottoman empire, now christians in Syria reduced from 33% of population to just 5%
      and in Lebanon from 66% as a majority to 33%
      and Palestine from 10 % before Israeli occupation 1948 to less than 2% of the population.
      Do you know before American occupation of Iraq 2003 the christians were 4 times their number now😮?
      Christians were 25% of all Arab region population in the early 20th century and under the ottoman empire, now christians are just 5% of the Arab region population 😮.
      That proves strongly the christians lived much better under Islam empires for 1300 years , and their matters deteriorated only after European christian colonization and american infringement in the region 😮

    I never watch the media, or the news, as I know that incredible countries such as Syria & Lebanon, etc; are so often "intently" painted in a very negative light, but in absolute "truth", when you make a real life personal visit to such countries, you quickly come to see, that the media was very wrong.
    Syria oh Syria, how I love you & your amazing, sweet, very welcoming & hospitable peoples. The "peoples" are what makes Syria so very special. They're some of the world's genuinely friendliest.
    From the rich history, to the beautiful culture, to the most incredible foods & such a deliciously varied cuisine, to the beautiful historic architecture, the gorgeous streets, old accommodation & scenery abound & so much more, are some of the "many" reasons, why a visit to Syria will never ever disappoint.
    You are such an unfairly "underrated" country yet you shouldn't be whatsoever.
    I love the saying, "You will never ever go hungry in Syria".
    And I will add, that you will never get bored/run out of foodie choices, with the amazing selection of high quality food on offer abound.
    This was very enjoyable viewing, so much so, that I will watch multiple times over.
    I wish all the lovely people of Syria, ongoing peace for the future & only the very best that this life has to offer.🙏

      Spot on! I was in the region for nearly 18 months studying at the American University of Beirut 12 years ago, it was truly an unforgettable experience! Lebanon,like Syria is stunningly gorgeous and same goes for the people and their first class gastronomy ! I have to say, they beat the French, the Italians, the Spanish, the Turks, the Greeks. I got to visit Damascus, Aleppo and Latakia. I enjoyed every moment of that trip and the kindness of the Syrian people, so similar to the Lebanese! I must go back! I’m disgusted by our Western governments and how they brought war and chaos to Syria, Lebanon and Palestine!

    Does anyone know where our gothic cathedrals’ architecture like Notre Dame or the Duomo of Florence or St Paul cathedral in London were taken from? 98% of Europeans are clueless, we think it’s Roman or Greek, but that’s wrong! We took it from the first Syrian cathedral called Alba Louzé . Many British historians wrote about it: Diane Blake’s book ‘What we stole from the Sarazins’.

      Do you know that Syria in the early twentieth century and under the ottoman empire had the third of it's population as Christians😮 , and after European christian colonization carried out by french in Syria and in Lebanon and Britain in Palestine, which decomposed the ottoman empire, now christians in Syria reduced from 33% of population to just 5%
      and in Lebanon from 66% as a majority to 33%
      and Palestine from 10 % before Israeli occupation 1948 to less than 2% of the population.
      Do you know before American occupation of Iraq 2003 the christians were 4 times their number now😮?
      Christians were 25% of all Arab region population in the early 20th century and under the ottoman empire, now christians are just 5% of the Arab region population 😮.
      That proves strongly the christians lived much better under Islam empires for 1300 years , and their matters deteriorated only after European christian colonization and american infringement in the region 😮😮

This is a side of Syria we Americans don't see notice other than the military presence & humanitarian crisis. So I highly appreciated this episode bringing us the beauty and contrasting the quality value of this ancient colorful collections of Syrians majestic monuments.

    I'm 35 years old now, living in Germany, and I have traveled to many Arab countries and Turkey. I have been to Syria, Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Iraq, Dubai, and more. Each country has its own cuisine, but I find Syrian cuisine to be the best among them. The worst cuisine I have experienced is Turkish cuisine, as it seems to be merely an imitation of Syrian cuisine without the same flavors or taste in its dishes.

Wrapped grape leaves with whole cloves of garlic served with a ground lamb and tomato sauce. Lamb dumplings in a yogurt sauce served with fried cilantro, tomato, and garlic garnish. That’s not even getting into the incredible variety of desserts.

    I made this comment in your first video but it's worth it to make it again. What makes Syrian food so special isn't just the talent of the chefs, the ancient recipes, the unique flavours and combinations, but also the fact that Syrian food is all from Syria. All the meat, fruit, and vegetables are local, they are not imported from Iraq, Turkey, or Europe, or wherever. This means the ingredients are super fresh, non-GMO, organic, and everything you eat came only an hours drive away at most. That's why Syrian food is the best!

      I love the minute 4:30 when Mark passes through the picture of the vice president the dictator bashar el-kalb LOL, he looks to the pictures and ignores it, they take him from this street to show him his picture, but Mike's response were incredible, he ignored the dictator's picture and walked away. I wonder why they didn't have the president's picture Vladimir Putin?

      Do you know that Syria in the early twentieth century and under the ottoman empire had the third of it's population as Christians😮 , and after European christian colonization carried out by french in Syria and in Lebanon and Britain in Palestine, which decomposed the ottoman empire, now christians in Syria reduced from 33% of population to just 5%
      and in Lebanon from 66% as a majority to 33%
      and Palestine from 10 % before Israeli occupation 1948 to less than 2% of the population.
      Do you know before American occupation of Iraq 2003 the christians were 4 times their number now😮?
      Christians were 25% of all Arab region population in the early 20th century and under the ottoman empire, now christians are just 5% of the Arab region population 😮.
      That proves strongly the christians lived much better under Islam empires for 1300 years , and their matters deteriorated only after European christian colonization and american infringement in the region 😮😮

    مرشد سياحي وما بيعرف تاريخ الجامع الاموي 🤦 كان معبد ارامي ولكن لانه بلادنا منطقة للزلازل فهدم بسبب زلزال ولما قدم الرومان بنوا بنفس المكان معبد للاله جوبيتر و المعبد ايضا تهدم بسبب زلزال وبقي انقاضه بعد عدة قرون بنيت كنيسة صغيرة تضمن مقام النبي يحيى ولما قرر الخليفة الوليد بن عبد الملك بناء الجامع ما كانت الكنيسة اصلا ضمن مخطط البناء الا انه قرروا اثناء البناء توسيع الجامع فاشترى الخليفة الكنيسة و سمحلنم ببناء كنيسة ثانية مكانها بباب شرقي بغرض توسيع الجامع مع الابقاء على مقام النبي يحيى كونه ليس من حرم المسجد لانه ضم اليه بالتوسعة وثناء البناء امر الخليفة باستخدام الانقاض الخاصة بالمعبد الرومان بعمليات البناء يعني اعادة استخدام كاحجار الاعمدة وغيرها بهدف خفض كلفة بناء الجامع ولانها بحالة جيدة لاستخدامها وهاد سبب وجود اعمدة رومانية بالجامع فالغريب انه المرشد السياحي ما بيعرف كل هالكلام و اتكلم بموجز مشوه وريح نفسه 🤦
