We need more people like you, who are willing to break the stereotypes and show the world how beautiful our country is. I hope your issue will be resolved and you will visit us again. There's a really good place that you missed which you should visit next time... that's the countryside of lattakia and specifically Mashqita. Absolutely breathtaking landscapes that you couldn't even imagine

      When you talk to politician as a tourist like you which you have a lot of follower is a big mistake and trust me none of them tell you the truth, like that Mayor in Sadad.
      The war in Syria start in 15 March 2011 as part of the wider 2011 Arab Spring protests to take down Bashar Assad Dictator and that was the time when Russa and Iranian dictator government with Qasem Soleimani start the was against Syrian people to save and keep Bashar Assad. and that is why 500,000 people get kild by Russians, Bashar Assad and Qasem Soleimani.
      So, ISIS exist in 2014, 3 years after Civil War in Syria.

    I've been everywhere, BUT Syria was one of the best country in the world. I was there last year in 2023. It was sad to the aftermath of war, but coming from Croatia it was something we also went through. The people are the best, warm, hospitable, kind, humble, proud and respectful to all religions. I was also surprised to see people with red hair, so the Crusades were there. Safety, you will have a better change of getting in trouble in the USA, France, ... then in Syria. The exchange rate is crazy, but I would give them a bundle of money, they would count and return the change, never cheated. Hands off Syria, let them live in peace.

    As a Syrian immigrant, I just wanted to thank you for this amazing video where you have actually spotted the light on the true reality of how beautiful the nature of people there. How amazingly old & historic every sight & street you crossed upon.
    This is us. This is our country. We had & still have people with different religions & ethnicities. Yet, we always managed to be simply beautiful & good loving as one.
    Unfortunately, in this life, sometimes things just turn out to result in a very hectic way..
    It’s so sad knowing that I have lost my country..
    It is so sad knowing that every destroyed street in there was once a school for children, a hospital for the sick, a shelter for the orphans, etc.
    It literally bring me tears when I see all of that destruction.. Especially when I know that I have had actually witnessed how beautiful Syria was & how genuine everyone was before the crisis.
    I really love you Drew! You are one in a billion type of human to actually go all the way, & even through danger just to shed a light on the true beauty of my country.

We in the West are drip red information and images of Syria which mean our perception of it is filled with war, bombs, guns, and misery. What I took from your video was hope, positivity, and joy, despite hardship. The hospitality and kindness and smiles of the Syrian people will stay with me for a long time. I really did think it was wonderful. Thank you for showing the heart of Syria to all of us. From Sarah, UK.

All of that to destroy Syria and to keep him on the throne. Turning Syrians into terrorists because they love their country and hate the dictator. And making the traitors who love the dictator and hate Syria make them heroes and patriots.

Clearly highly educated and a dignified, proud people, they are also gentle and sociable and accepting. I have learned so much from them, and I consider so many some of my closest friends. Knowing them and seeing the through line of how beautiful they are makes me want to go to Syria, learn Arabic, meet more, wish for peace, travel to work at refugee camps where I know they gravitate.....Really- they're amazing people.

    Drew, this video is so mixed with emotions. It has certainly changed my view on Syria. It was so heartwarming to see how hospitable they all were despite the attrocities they have endured. I wrongly expected hostility towards you as you are from the west but it goes to show how the media play a huge part in influencing us. Thank you Drew for this fantastic insight and I wish the Syrian people peace and hope in rebuilding their beautiful country. From Karen in Scotland x

      you must keep in mind that the syrian government won the civil war and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people, particularly sunnis or those against the government. some people never left syria, and it was those who stood by and supported the government who was committing atrocities at the time. many of the people you saw, and i note this also from the comments they made, are pro-government. there's another syria we don't see. one man in the clip said syria... muslim Christian jewish all welcome/ well, not really because the civil war happened for a reason and if you were anti gov, or sunni, you're still persecuted. just keep that in mind. peace :)

The Regime ist trying so hard to convince the West that Syria is safe (especially for Christians) only to get some more recognition. What you experienced in this Video is the best out of Syria the rest of the country is still in complete destruction.

From the outside it’s a rebellion but the reality is a regional struggle for influence over sudan.
