    Really great content, I've so enjoyed your videos of the MENA region. I lived and worked in Cairo for 3 years and I know that in Egypt and Palestine Arab guys would talk about Syrian women as the perfect combination of beauty and sweetness. Even the Arabic dialect and accent of the of Syrian women is supposed to be sweeter. So while Lebanon is known for their women being obsessed with plastic surgery and sexiness, Syrian women are known for their natural beauty and femininity. Your comments at the end of the video reminded me of these stereotypes.
    Really, I so wish to visit Damascus to experience the ancient architecture and your videos make me think that someday it may be possible. Shukran gazilaan!😊

If you had had a chance to visit the South, you would have seen a lot of those colored eyes you're mentioning here. Anyway, great vid bro. Keep up the great quality 🙏🏻

    Yeah. Sad to see such a country being disregarded by the “official world”.
    Concerning greater Syria, it’s a matter of geographical integrity. You mentioned southern Turkey, this is where the Taurus mountains are found, that form the natural northern borders of Syria. And in those mountains are the sources of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers, that irrigate the Syrian and Iraqi lands. But today and since the Syrian republic was formed as a state, the political borders are to the south of those mountains, and thus Syria is in fact not in control of its fresh water resources.

      Do you think it is ok what Syrians do to little girls, teenagers, women and even grandmothers?
      I do know that many refugees pretend to be from Syria in Germany, so that they are allowed to stay.
      It angers me what the victims have to endure from "Syrian" men who think it is fine to rape and murder while being financially supported by their host.

If you want to visit my country, please consider visiting a refugee camp to see the truth and the real, miserable face of Syria.

Tell them to leave the camps and go back home and rebuild their lives. Y3ni khalas give it up already. Move on. Syria has seen the rise and fall of many empires and invaders and this will not be the last. We saw misery for 13 years and we don’t care about seeing more of it.

      Syria is secular but has been Muslim majority for nearly 1400 years. Before that it was under the Byzantines & Romans. Many churches used to be Roman temples. Then some became mosques or remained churches. You can read about all of this online. It’s common knowledge
