This video is cheap marketing and a dirty propaganda claiming that Syria is fine. Syria is wounded, and it weeps for its two million sons killed by the criminal Syrian regime with explosive barrels. It weeps for the nine million displaced by the regime and for the seven hundred thousand turned into disabled individuals. Simon went to areas controlled by the regime and set up his checkpoints every 100 meters on the roads, yet he did not show them. This is filth beyond filth and a complete lack of humanity

It still surprises me video's can feel so different. After watching Bald's earlier and Yours now, it almost feels like your not in the same place for the majority of the trip. Its not just this one, other collaborations in the past all over the world with different creators often gives the total opposite view and feel. It just proves the point, no matter where you are and what is happening around you, the person next to you is not having the same experience as you despite what you imagine.

That was fun. In 2009, I was touring around Europe with my family in a car. We went to Turkey, and then decided to keep going through Syria. The border was a little difficult, took us 2 days to pass through, but the people at the border were very friendly, they all wanted to drink tea with us. Once in Syria, it was very much the same, we were a little cautious (healthily so perhaps), but again, the people there welcomed us.

Tourism boards everywhere should be working with KZread influences to get tourism levels back up. Free accommodation and travel can pay off massively with these guys

Syria seems like an amazing country. Syrians are very friendly. I wish that you showed us St Paul's church (the road to Damascus), Omayad mosque with St John's tomb inside it.. Apparently Damascus is the oldest living city in the world.

That guy that said "be careful" directly after the Footy game was so sincere. Syrains seem so inviting and genuine

Rami what a LEGEND. Don’t think I heard a “cheers, thank you” once from Simon. Great video.

So glad to see you guys go to Syria. Went there way back in 1992 for 2 weeks...was my favorite country in the Middle East and I have seen almost all of them. Some of the best people, and at the time felt safer than any other country nearby. Had the best shawarma in the souk of Aleppo. So great to see it again here, and even happier that it is bouncing back it seems. Enjoy!

For fun an American can go to Los Angeles but for visiting the church where Saint Paul was baptized, the shrine that has Saint John's head, the remains of Jupiter temple and the Umayyad Mosque this American needs to visit Damascus. And as a bonus the same American will visit one of the oldest cities on earth, enjoys very delicious food, enjoys very beautiful hotels with an Arabic style and enjoys the low prices of goods and services. And when you are in Damascus-Syria you can visit almost 3000 historical sites. Syria was the cradle of our civilization. Have you heard this saying: “Every person has two homelands, his own and Syria.” It was said by Andre parrot Former Director of Louvers Museum . A French archaeologist specializing in the ancient Near East. He led excavations in Lebanon, Iraq and Syria, and is best known for his work at Mari, Syria, where he led important excavations from 1933 to 1975.

Second, few thousands tourists who visit Syria a year will not help the political regime of Syria but they will help the people of Syria. They will make them have some hope. Tourists will also inject little amounts of extra cash in the markets creating few hundred jobs for some needy Syrian people. I am sure that tourism is Syria will never get back to its magnitude that was before the crisis until a serious political change is made in Syria.

You are learning what many of us Americans who have lived in Syria for many years already know: the generosity, patience, and magnanimity of the Syrian people and other Arabs of the region is incomparable. Your reporting is years too late, as this isn't just another worn torn country to be dissected. The Syrian people have suffered and have been enormously traumatized over the last 15 years due to the United States' abusive hegemony and twisted foreign policy in the region. Syria is not just another playground for curious westerners like a trip to Disney World: it's a country rich in history, culture, architecture, music that deserves deep respect and intention.
