Dear Mark, Be careful not to fall into the trap of relying on Syrian regime propaganda. Please remember that the Syrian government killed children with chemical weapons. There are 60,000 actual photos of Syrians tortured to death by this regime. The destruction in Syria has been mostly carried out by the regime. In 2013, the UN clearly requested that the president of Syria not use heavy weaponry in populated areas; this is documented. If regime forces claim that the destruction in certain places was caused by others, be cautious. It would be great if you could comment on the human rights abuses in Syria...
Syria is worthy of the suffering it has suffered. China has provided a lot of aid, but the young people in their country abuse the Chinese people. The police also catch Chinese citizens as thieves, beat and abuse them, chilling the hearts of the Chinese people 😢

Of all the Arabs I worked with in Abu Dhabi... the Syrian people I've met have been incredibly welcoming and kind-hearted. As the only Filipino guy who loved to join the company of Syrians, they treated me as one of them and invited me to have some good Syrian food with Sisha on the side. I missed you Ahmad, Maher, Hassam, Hani, Mohannad, Bakri, Rami, Abdulkader, and Mohammed. Thank you for all the good memories.
I was just in Jordan, Lebanon & Syria. I agree with you - Syrians are the friendliest, most generous, & warmest people. A bread vendor handed me a freshly baked bread and said, “welcome to Syria!”. A woman offered me a bite of her newly bought bread and said, “ welcome to Syria!” I will cherish these experiences as long as I live🥰
Oman should be giving Syria money - a billion dollars, which Oil Rich Oman can easily do, which would be used to help the millions of starving Syrians. Oh, do I hear a NO from Oman, let the US and the EU give aid, Oman refuses.
@@harrydestaffano565 Who destroyed Syria? Is it Oman?? Why don't you go and tell the countries that destroyed them to fix them? Secondly, Oman is not as rich as you imagine and what your imagination draws. On the other hand, Oman, on top of this, donates a lot to Syria and Palestine, so why don’t you tell me the name of your country so that we know who the criminal is?

Misinformation. Syria is the sixth most food-insecure country in the world. 16.7 million Syrians depend on humanitarian assistance to survive. Nearly 6 million Syrians cannot get enough food and are surviving off of World Food Programme (WFP) handouts. WFP estimates that 16.7 million Syrians - over half the Syrian population - are in the grip of hunger today. It is clearly misinformation to show all the food, suggesting Syrians are OK, when WFP says Syrians are starving. Remove this video.
My husband is Syrian and I am Swiss. I learned to Cook Syrian food and our children love it. I pray for Syria every day and I hope we can go in the future. My parents in law bought a house in Aleppo but are waiting to go back. Thank you for uploading this experience.
I'm from Kosovo and I'm so happy to see Syria and its people living peacefully and not what we are used to see. I feel sorry for all those who lost their life. Inshallah I will visit Syria very soon❤
You shouldn’t, we as Syrians will be killed by the regime forces in two minutes if we get back but they are streaming this for you so they can use these videos to put pressure on refugees to get back and be arrested by Bashar Alasad forces.
Thank you for your sympathy, but unfortunately most of the people live in extreme poverty, and they have to work day for day to get their food for one day. Do not think that what is being portrayed is the truth and the normal, comfortable life of the people. Rather, the truth is that they are very poor and live with difficulty because of the bad state system and the unjust, murderous dictatorship.
@@chazajatal9028ofc I hope the best for Syria. Sadly this world is ruled by Zionists and they have deployed their puppets to rule over the middle east and look it's no wonder they are destroying these nations. Allah will give y'all the justice u deserve and I pray everyday that y'all middle easterners and Africans will have a rule over your own land soon. Not those corrupt muslim Zionist bots but the real muslims.
I jumped into the vid as soon as I saw the title. I'm not from Syria I'm actually Saudi but I've been there twice before the war.. kind people, delicious food and incredible nature. It has changed alot since I was there last and the people you're looking at still lives in a war, but look at smile on thier faces man! 🇸🇦🇸🇾♥️
Unfortunately, you did not help us when the war of genocide was imposed on us, and you did not open your countries for refuge for us. We are Muslim Arabs and tribes just like you. The Western countries received us. Thank you to them, but you are a shame on you. There is no chivalry in you.

I'm from Jordan, and we have a lot of Syrian restaurants here. Whenever I try one, I never leave disappointed! I can confirm that Syrian food is the best of all time
No, they only have the appetizers and mashawi not real meals! Morocco is still number one in the Arab world and number 3 worldwide! Syrian food just like lebanese jordanian and palestinian is better eaten at restaurants like falafel hummus fatteh mashawi
@@znadiaster6630 That is your opinion. Our cuisine is much more than what you described. There is grape leaves, cabbage rolls, fattet hummus, shushbarak, tabouleh, fattoush, stuffed bell peppers, muhammara, makdouss, fassouliya, bamiya, shawarma. If you prefer Moroccan food, your opinion and choice. I like Moroccan, but I prefer Syrian. We all have our preference.
I am an Egyptian , but no one cooks like our Syrian brothers and sisters .love them.beautiful people .gorgeous country with an incredible civilization and people .

Despite our suffering from war, economic blockade, and injustice, and our resorting to other countries that do not welcome us and are not wanted in most countries, in order to live a better life, we still resist with happy faces, preserve our cultures, welcome our dear visitors, and share our generosity and kindness to them. Thank you for showing how kind our people are. You have all my love and appreciation. I will start following you for more beautiful videos. I am following you from Syria.❤

This might be my favorite video of yours. Your joy, wonder, and respect for Damascus, its culture, and its cuisine are genuine. It's almost palpable through the screen. And the food looks divine. ❤ from Austria 🇦🇹
I got emotional watching this vlog, lived there more than 6 years in Damascus and am so happy to see a famous vlogger going there to film and eat. Just to let you know, the people there are struggling soooo hard to (eat) their (traditional basic FOOD). Pray for them to get the life they deserve. btw, the monthly income for the workers is less than 100$.

As Americans i feel we have been lied to so much about other cultures. Im thankful for Mark opening our eyes to wonderful people and beautiful places. I would love to visit Syria and worship with other Syrians and experience the country.
Yes it's so we can profit off of Syria they have oil but don't have much equipment to get it and they can't trade with anyone with all of the mandatory sanctions us has put 😂
its sad to tell you that war leaders whom lead the world tell you that our people are beasts and deserve to die by war that USA has created , or died hungry as it happens now for us, but the reality that all of us brothers we are all human, all children are angels and they don't deserve this fate
As a Syrian who grew up abroad, thank you so much for reminding me of my beautiful home. Every moment of life in Syria is refreshing. The people are what preserve this beautiful 12,000 year old history through their simple and hospitable culture. May there be 12,000 more years of peace and prosperity for Bilad al-Sham.

Thanks man! This is great. I am not Syrian; I am Turkish, but I felt very sorry for Syria being destroyed after the war. Seeing Damascus doing well made me so happy. Your video is so nice because it shows that Syria can be remembered as an ordinary, nice country instead of just the civil war. I hope they can stand up again and live happily in Syria.
I hope Syria will go really well, as a Turk from Germany, I always say Syrians are our brothers and sisters, what happens in Turkey, don't believe in it, it's all just a game from other countries, many greetings from Germany to Damascus❤❤🙏🙏🧿🧿
You mean after the illegal invasions and infighting, created by the CIA and corrupt Western elites. Leaving thousands to their death and many ancient buildings and modern infrastructure back to rubble. Damascus city is probably the oldest civilisations dated to man and only in recent history, it almost crumbled due to the United 🐍 of America, modern day colonialism.

It all started with my parents honeymoon in 1986 and continued as a family tradition to spend the holiday there every year until 2010.

Your visit brought happiness to my heart and I’ll go back to visit my lovely Damascus InShaAllah😭♥️
Me too. I‘m born in Germany to Syrian parents but we used to visit every summer for several months during school holidays…. Now I haven’t been since I was 9 (when the war started). I still have dreams very often about visiting Syrian and sobbing uncontrollably in my dreams with heartache for my Syria. The longing is real.
Your information is incorrect... The areas in this video are historical archaeological areas and popular neighborhoods... As for the upscale neighborhoods where there are cafes and fancy restaurants, they did not visit them
@@AhmadBashar-z1n I am from Damascus and I know those are spreading lies and fake propaganda to make the regime look good. 99% of Syrians can have proper life nowadays.
God Bless the generous and kind people of Syria from their Palestinian brother. Amazing coverage Mark, I saw how much you actually enjoyed ancient Damascus for all of it's beautiful and unique characteristics.
Damascus looks so beautiful and so rich in history and culture. Also, the people seem to be really amazing. Thank you very much for sharing this with us. I hope you will visit other places in Syria as well.
Mark is always building bridges across cultural, political and religious divides through food! Perhaps he can help heal the deep division within the US if it isn't too late already!

@@فتىالعرب-غ9غvery true bro. I as a Muslim Algerian was talking about this topic just today with my Christian lebanese frien. What a coincidence to see your comment
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, 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.

@@Zikkim-bx1iy No that is not true in government held Syria, maybe it's true in Turkish occupied Syria in the North, that they get most of their food from Turkey. You can see import data for Syria online, furthermore there is a scientific paper titled "The Resilience of Syrian Agriculture" which outlines key ways in how Syria is food self-sustainable despite the lack of GMO food. Syria has incredibly fertile soil, you can sow the lands over and over. Syria allows anyone to own farm animals and have them roam around the entire country, like the side of highways, in city streets, in ancient sites, in the mountains, farm animals are pretty much everywhere, and they're eating natural grass and plants and not manufactured grains. There are also specific Syrian government farming policies dating back to the 70's preparing for war with Israel, and the sanctions from the United States has made Syria a self-sustaining food resilient country. Further evidence is that Syria also has one of the largest seed banks in the world. In this video you can see Mark says Syrian shawarma and rotisserie is the best, and he just came from Turkey. Turkey is becoming more concrete and less farm as time goes on, it reduces the freshness of the flavours in the meat. Same with Lebanon. That is why Syria is number 1, there is no factory farming, it is pure, natural, hard-working, farming with the benefit of free-roaming animals.

How does your restaurant obtain the food to provide all the tasty Syrian dishes? Explain who your suppliers are because Syria is the sixth most food-insecure country in the world. 16.7 million Syrians depend on humanitarian assistance to survive. None of them are coming to your restaurant. Nearly 6 million Syrians cannot get enough food and are surviving off of World Food Programme (WFP) handouts. WFP estimates that 16.7 million Syrians - over half the Syrian population - are in the grip of hunger today. It is clearly misinformation to suggest Syrians are OK, and not starving when WFP says Syrians are starving. They are feeding over 5 million Syrians and the country received over a billion in foreign aid, just to survive each year, whilst your evil Dictator Assad continues to fight a 14 + year long civil war and has jailed 46,000 people without charge, 90% of them are women and children. So excuse me for accusing this video of misinformation, if you really do manage a restaurant in Syria, whilst Syrians are starving you should be ashamed of yourself. The World Food Programme would like to know how you are obtaining your supplies to make all the tasty food Mark shows. Will you provide a better price to feed 16 million Syrians 3 meals a day? Remove video.

اهلا بك في سوريا ، كان لدي العديد من الاصدقاء من كوسوفو لقد عشنا طفولتنا في جميع مراحل الحياة في ليبيا اتمنى ان التقي بأصدقائي في يوم ما
You shouldn’t, we as Syrians will be killed by the regime forces in two minutes if we get back but they are streaming this for you so they can use these videos to put pressure on refugees to get back and be arrested by Bashar Alasad forces.
Thank you for your sympathy, but unfortunately most of the people live in extreme poverty, and they have to work day for day to get their food for one day. Do not think that what is being portrayed is the truth and the normal, comfortable life of the people. Rather, the truth is that they are very poor and live with difficulty because of the bad state system and the unjust, murderous dictatorship.
@@chazajatal9028ofc I hope the best for Syria. Sadly this world is ruled by Zionists and they have deployed their puppets to rule over the middle east and look it's no wonder they are destroying these nations. Allah will give y'all the justice u deserve and I pray everyday that y'all middle easterners and Africans will have a rule over your own land soon. Not those corrupt muslim Zionist bots but the real muslims.

I jumped into the vid as soon as I saw the title. I'm not from Syria I'm actually Saudi but I've been there twice before the war.. kind people, delicious food and incredible nature. It has changed alot since I was there last and the people you're looking at still lives in a war, but look at smile on thier faces man!

Unfortunately, you did not help us when the war of genocide was imposed on us, and you did not open your countries for refuge for us. We are Muslim Arabs and tribes just like you. The Western countries received us. Thank you to them, but you are a shame on you. There is no chivalry in you.

The war is over? I thought Syria was still an active war zone under ISIS control or something.
You mean after the illegal invasions and infighting, created by the CIA and corrupt Western elites. Leaving thousands to their death and many ancient buildings and modern infrastructure back to rubble. Damascus city is probably the oldest civilisations dated to man and only in recent history, it almost crumbled due to the United 🐍 of America, modern day colonialism.

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, 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.

Yarısi TÜRKİYENİN yemekleri ne konusionuz abi
@@Zikkim-bx1iy🤣🤣🤣
@@Zikkim-bx1iy No that is not true in government held Syria, maybe it's true in Turkish occupied Syria in the North, that they get most of their food from Turkey. You can see import data for Syria online, furthermore there is a scientific paper titled "The Resilience of Syrian Agriculture" which outlines key ways in how Syria is food self-sustainable despite the lack of GMO food. Syria has incredibly fertile soil, you can sow the lands over and over. Syria allows anyone to own farm animals and have them roam around the entire country, like the side of highways, in city streets, in ancient sites, in the mountains, farm animals are pretty much everywhere, and they're eating natural grass and plants and not manufactured grains. There are also specific Syrian government farming policies dating back to the 70's preparing for war with Israel, and the sanctions from the United States has made Syria a self-sustaining food resilient country.
Further evidence is that Syria also has one of the largest seed banks in the world.
In this video you can see Mark says Syrian shawarma and rotisserie is the best, and he just came from Turkey. Turkey is becoming more concrete and less farm as time goes on, it reduces the freshness of the flavours in the meat. Same with Lebanon. That is why Syria is number 1, there is no factory farming, it is pure, natural, hard-working, farming with the benefit of free-roaming animals.
Exactly

As a Saudi guy Syrian food is my favorite cuisine of Arab kitchen second is Morocco cuisine I love the people too
❤
عز ي مال العز🤍كفو
Morroco is number 1 cuisine imo, but they don't know how to make good shwarma lol
watching this video is nice things to remember the syrial culrure tradions and religion .
Syrian food is much richer and much diverse than moroccan 😂@@joshtheanalyst1461
Очень рад что там уже спокойно, и народ живёт счастливо, они мужественный народ, привет из Афганистана.

Thank you very much This is very kind of you We love everyone who loves us
Im not even from Syria, either have been there before, but i really appreciate that you visited Syria. Knowing that the civil war is still going on, your visit means a lot to help the tourism there, giving the people the hope that everything is gonna be okay.
Thank you, Mark.
Nothing about it is “civil” but I agree
أنا لم أتشرف بزيارة سوريا لكن اعلم ان السوريين مميزين بكل مجال خصوصا الأكل معروف بالنظافه ولذيذ جدا جدا
all i can say is the ones that came to chicago and made schwarma and so forth gave me some of my fondest childhood memories. truly top shelf food culture for sure.
جدا نظافه!! بدون قفازات و شاورما في شارع مفتوح و دخان السيارات و ووو!
اذا ما اكلتي من اكل الشام هذا وحصرا مع دخان السيارات بحياتك ما بتعرفي لذة الاكل اهل الشام من قبل جدا مؤمنين وبيشتغلو بكل حب.. لكن هالحكي زمان.. الان ما عندي فكرة كيف الوضع@@Asma-ep9bx

How does your restaurant obtain the food to provide all the tasty Syrian dishes?
Explain who your suppliers are because
Syria is the sixth most food-insecure country in the world.
16.7 million Syrians depend on humanitarian assistance to survive.
None of them are coming to your restaurant.
Nearly 6 million Syrians cannot get enough food and are surviving off of World Food Programme (WFP) handouts. WFP estimates that 16.7 million Syrians - over half the Syrian population - are in the grip of hunger today.
It is clearly misinformation to suggest Syrians are OK, and not starving when WFP says Syrians are starving. They are feeding over 5 million Syrians and the country received over a billion in foreign aid, just to survive each year, whilst your evil Dictator Assad continues to fight a 14 + year long civil war and has jailed 46,000 people without charge, 90% of them are women and children.
So excuse me for accusing this video of misinformation, if you really do manage a restaurant in Syria, whilst Syrians are starving you should be ashamed of yourself. The World Food Programme would like to know how you are obtaining your supplies to make all the tasty food Mark shows. Will you provide a better price to feed 16 million Syrians 3 meals a day?
Remove video.

Hello Mark, I've waited a long time until you finally visited Syria. Believe me, your visit to Syria will be the best. For me, I've followed most of your episodes, and this will be the cherry that will decorate the beautiful cake.
