    🇸🇾 Street Food in Damascus: • First Time in Syria!! ...
    ALEPPO, SYRIA - It’s been said that Aleppo is one of the original food capitals of the world - people came from all over to learn about new recipes and ingredients that passed through this ancient city. Today we’re going on an ultimate Syrian food tour in Aleppo!
    ► Thank you to Rami from Syrian Guides: syrianguides.com/
    Aleppo Bab Al Ahmar - Located on the outside of Aleppo Citadel you’ll find this traditional Syrian restaurant that specializes in breakfast dishes. Rami and I had a breakfast feast to begin our day with some of the Levantine food classics like hummus and foul, and a special dish called Maamounieh. Total price - 250,000 SYP ($16.66) for everything
    After breakfast we continued to visit the Aleppo Citadel and Al-Madina Souq. Although so much was destroyed, it’s amazing to see that Aleppo is coming back to life, and people are rebuilding. Within the winding alleys of the market we tried a simple falafel, which was fantastic, but just a start to the next falafel we’d be trying later in the afternoon. We also visited an 800 year old soup factory at Jebeili Soap Factory and ate local Aleppo Syrian kebabs at Abu Dibo Kebab.
    Cordoba Restaurant (maps.app.goo.g...) - One of the greatest restaurants in Aleppo, Syria is Cordoba, famous for their Aleppo cuisine, and especially for serving of the best versions of Kebab karaz - Aleppo sour cherry kebab. Total price - 470,000 SYP ($31.33) for everything
    Amo Hamido Falafel (maps.app.goo.g...) - Next up we went to what is probably the most famous and popular Syrian street food spot in Aleppo, known for their giant falafel sandwiches! Price - 15,000 SYP ($1) per sandwich
    Sujuk Sandwich (maps.app.goo.g...) - We continued on this Syrian street food tour in Aleppo to eat an Armenian sujuk sandwich, which was extremely tasty. Price - 17,000 SYP ($1.13) per sandwich
    Abu Hagob Restaurant - Finally we had a dinner at a legendary Armenian Syrian restaurant where they made a meal of many small plates to eat with arak. The kibbeh nayyeh, raw minced lamb and bulgur, was especially delicious. Total price - 250,000 SYP ($16.66) for everything
    Aleppo, Syria is and always has been a food capital of the world!
    ► 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!

    What touched me deeply is that the last falafel shop has this sign, which says „please, if you are in need your order is already paid“ which means that people who can’t afford to buy something to eat they can eat here for free.
    May god bless the restaurant owner for his kindness ❤❤

He clearly could avoid this "plan", but his intention to put the dictator ahead is clear. He could go there by avoiding ANY reference to politics, but I m aacusing him and you _because of your wierd comment - of being part of this malicious campaign

I see how these people are eager to communicate with the outside world. It was a severe crime to tear down that castle citadel and 800 years old zuk(bazar). I was thinking how many people have been died on those streets😢
    It takes a fraction of a second to tear down an entire town, while it won't be enough even a lifetime to rebuild😢
    I could sense his stupor, oh, man, Syria has been at a crossroads for over 5,000 years. One of the crossroads of the world's first civilization.

    As a huge foodie who savors every flavor (you know, uses ALL the taste buds!😆), Syrian cuisine is at the top of my list. It's incredibly diverse, bursting with rich flavors, authentic, and absolutely delicious. My ultimate dream is to travel to Syria someday and experience this food culture at its source.
    Here's hoping my Syrian food adventure comes true soon, and that Syria itself returns to its golden age. Sending lots of love to Syria and to you, Mark, all the way from Yemen! ✌️❤

    As I watched your videos during your time in Syria, I was overwhelmed with a range of emotions. It was a poignant reminder of the beauty of my homeland and the warmth of its people, both of which I dearly miss. Your visit not only highlighted the rich culture and heritage of Syria but also showcased the resilience and spirit of its people.

      ⁠@@tinabioBut its as simple as you think, Assad government did not fall down and its the biggest reason why syrians are not going back, every syrian that fled to turkey is marked by Assad government as soon as they put step there they will get arrested to nowhere and I'm not joking to you about that, Assad normally has lost the war if Russia didn't help him and every Syrian would have went back Voluntarily. The economy there is fucked up, Syrian pound used to be 60 SYP for 1 USD and now its 15000 SYP for 1 USD. The maximum salary is around 100-150 dollars per month!! Of course there is many reasons, me as Syrian living in Germany, I would agree to you there is alot of bad Syrians who did not respect your country as gusts but not all of us like this, many want to work and build their own businesses. The Turkish economic is down not only because of the Syrians but the whole conflicts that happning around the world, the wars. The only thing I want you to understand that not everyone is the same and if Assad wasn't rule the country, 95% of Syrians would definitely go back, but if you know you are going to die, you won't kill yourself, will you?

It is nice to see how life is bustling amidst the ruins and restoration work has begun. Most of all, how some veterans survived and returned to make good food by the streets. Like people make the most of life and do their best to restore normalcy. Very touching to watch. Very resilient people. Syria is in my list of places to travel to and your guide will be the one I shall contact, if I can afford him. :D Thank you very much for making this video.
