Hi, Yves! I’m from Brazil, but my grandfather was an immigrant from Syria. Despite the fact that we keep our arabic culture in the family, I have always had kind of a prejudice with the county, mostly because of the war. You are responsible for presenting me with a lot of wisdom of my own ancestry, and I am very thankful for that. I now hope that one that I will get to know the homeland of my family❤️
Learn about the US (and their allies) proxy war against Syria. Amazingly they survived. Assad protected minorities and Christians and kept the country together. Be proud and don’t be deceived by the propaganda.
Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to see all these places😃 It is so stunning what you do! You are very open minded without prejudices. Can't wait to see more and a lot of greetings from Berlin/ Germany.
I was there last February and I stayed for 10 days , it was just amazing , loved the places and to be honest I did not felt unsafe at all , I travel around the city and talk to people, tried the street food and went to historic places and every one was just so nice to me . Really want to visit again.
At 7:49 you say that they copy the andalusian muslims in the style of architecture, but you are actually in the same place of its origin, because the leader who established the caliphate of alAndaluss Abdulrahman I was from Damascuss originally, he was from the Umayyad dynasty . The impact and the Arabic influence on the Iberian peninsula and what is now called Andalucia was mainly from todays Syria and the Levante region. Thank you for the video
recently found your channel, and im loving it, you find and give a fair and detailed picture of the daily life in places, making me intruiged to travel myself, thank you! :)
Can’t stop crying the whole video… Damascus is the breath I take and seeing it without being able to be there is so hurtful… anyway thanks for visiting my beloved Syria, hope that things get better by time so you would be able to see it at its best
Bonjour Yves, Merci d'être venue, on a plus l'habitude de recevoir des touristes depuis le début de la guèrre. Ça fait vâchement plaisir du coup. Et ça aide beaucoup à reprendre la vie normal, car ça incite les autres aussi à venir et à montrer que ce n'est plus vraiment dangereux.
Even here in Japan 🇯🇵 that beautiful Aleppo soap is sold, albeit at too high a price for me to buy it very often😢. It frequently came with a ‘ Made in Türkiye 🇹🇷 ‘ sticker while the war at its height. I hope that it’s all returned to its original place of origin! 🇸🇾
Holaaa te escribo desde la México City, siempre me a llamado la atención estás ciudades que presentas Siria, Damasco, aleph, mosul, etc, llegué de milagro a tú canal y gracias por prestarnos estás ciudades me parece Maravilloso y sorprendente cómo es la gente tan amable y gentil.... Son sorprendentes!!!!
Thank you for sharing your travels. This is like theraphy for me (maybe also for others) who is currently trapped by my economic situation. One day I hope, I can visit these countries in your videos and make some friends along the way. ❤️❤️ from 🇵🇭
Thank you so much for posting your trip. Being an American, I have never been to the middle east and I'm happy to be able to see its' architecture and people. The children are the sweetest and kindest.... Many thanks
The first minaret in Islam was built in the Amr Ibn Al-As mosque in New Cairo, the capital of Egypt. The minaret was added to the main part in 678 by the governor Maslem bin Muhalled during the time of the Umayyad melik Muaviye I.
13:13 actually this was a description of gardens that surrounded Damascus 5:51 this young poor girl should be a student in a university and she's selling socks to finance her study , I'm unbelievably so sorry for her That seen took my heart out 12:03 the Jupiter temple collapsed during an earthquake that changed the face of all Damascus And the temple stones were not used in building the mosque but they were brought from Qasioun mountain in Damascus You have so bad guide that wasn't doing her job right and gave you false information 7:12 actually Muslims in Andalusia copied Damascus because these houses are much older than the Islamic Andalusia , Umayyads fleed Damascus from Abbasid dynasty and headed to Andalusia where they built houses like those back in home 10:19 you can recognise conservative women of Shia militias that were brought from Iran , Iraq , Afghanistan and Pakistan They are all in black 9:23 I'm so sorry that kids have to work instead of going to school in Syria Our dictator let us in a useless war that no one can win and let our country be sanctioned by west This animal made Syria a renegade state that flight all nations and with no allies or friends
Just to correct a few things, to avoid misleading people, Wikipedia does not agree with your statement about the Umayyad mosque, but does agree with my guide, and when you walk around, you can see on the walls of the mosque a lot of decorations that are obviously Roman. It was an Aramean temple, then a Roman temple, then a church, and then it became a mosque. Regarding the Azem palace, it was built in the 18th century, during the Ottoman period, so much after the glorious days of Islamic Andalusia. Of course the Muslims in Andalusia were influenced by Damascus, but in this case, it does make sense that it was the other way around.
@@KinoYves In terms of Wikipedia that you considered it as a trust source Everyone can add information to Wikipedia , no matter if it's right or false I've been raised in this city so I know what my grandfather told me after his grandfather told him But there are some people though who are trying to change the facts and history of our country by imposing their Orientalist thoughts And additionally , I didn't mean Azem palace specifically cuz I know it's not so old but I meant the syrian structures itself is much older than the Andalusian one Old traditional houses used to be built since Umayyad dynasty was in power
Looool, what are you going on about? Clearly you're soo pissed that assad is still in power after the salafist and US backed plan failed. The people in the video look happy.. ( you can always find people in need and selling stuff?) Syria is recovering from years of plotted terrorism..
Regarding Wikipedia, it is moderated, it's not as simple as anyone can add anything. Regarding Damascus, my guide has lived all her life in Damascus as well (all the war included), and she is a sunni like you. And sorry, but I think that a professional local guide, and the greatest encyclopedia of Human history are much more reliable than your grandfather. You should just have a look at the Umayyad mosque, it is very easy to see that it was a Roman temple. It is very weird than you want to deny that, as it is very common around Syria to find old mosques that were Roman temples. Regarding the Azem palace, you corrected what I said about it, so I corrected your wrong correction, that's all. 😉 I was not talking about Syrian structures, but only about the Azem palace.
@@KinoYves I will emphasize some important points: Through history, the site hosted many places of worship and the people of every religion used to take over the place by force and modify it according to their belief. But Muslims did not take the place by force, they compensated Christians generously. Muslim used the remains of the old temples to build the Umayyad Mosque but they added a lot to it. What belongs to the old temples represents a small portion of the whole structure of mosque especially that Jupiter temple was destroyed originally by earthquakes that hit the area since Damascus is on a fault line. The seismic hazard potential for Damascus city, Syria is mainly controlled by earthquakes along Serghaya Fault which is a branch of Dead Sea Fault System. The mosque and the old temples were built by rocks brought from Qasioun mountain near Damascus. Many researchers verified the origin of the rocks that were used to build the mosque and other temples. All the building materials used in the mosque were from Damascus. All the workers who built the mosque were Damascene. Some historical sources claim that the Byzantine empire used to take skilled Arab workers to build monumental structures in Greece and other places because most Byzantine men used to be soldiers to be able to control their huge empire. And the Umayyad rulers who fled to Andalusia took with them their skilled workers who built their palaces there in Spain. And do not forget that till today nobody knows the secrets of the Damascene steel. In addition to that, the well-known old Damask fabric is clear proof that the Damascene people were very talented and skillful so they could build a huge monument like the Umayyad Mosque especially that the Umayyad Caliphates were ready to spend generously to build this mosque especially that the Umayyad people were originally from Mecca and they used to live near the Kaaba.
Juste une petite précision. Damas est devenue le centre du monde Islamique sous les Ommayades et c'est leur dernière generation qui a envahi l'Andalousie juste avant que Baghdad des Abbasside prenne la relève et leadership. Donc l'architecture de Damas est l'architecture des Ommayades et non la copie de l' Andalousie, comme tu l'as laissé entendre. L' Andalousie a demeuré sous les Ommayades bien après la chure de Damas. Donc les Ommayades ont survécu en Andalousie comme force.
Hi, I just contacted Ayoub from Marrota agency, and he arranged everything. His instagram and the website of the agency are in the description of the video.
@@KinoYves we were just wondering how you traveled from Lebanon and what happened to your bike. Thank you for responding. We are looking forward to your videos and admire your courage.
Oh, sorry, I didn't get it. I traveled by car from Beirut to the border, the Lebanese driver dealt with the border crossing for me (on both sides), and once in Syria, I changed car, and this new car drove me from the border to my hotel in Damascus. Regarding my bike, I left it in my accommodation in Beirut, and as of now, the bike seems to be working fine, I have already done about 1000 km since the sabotage, and my rack is still standing, so, so far, it's all good with my bike.
@@pjackson8027 Yes indeed it is very safe because ten of thousands of the agents of secret services, police, informants and ordinary people are watching every street and alley in Damascus.
One thing i want to say to you. You should go to iran. But know one thing before u go. Everywhere u go no one takes money from u when u buy things. But its not because they love u. Its just the coulture to be nice to others they neet the first time. But i know u will looppve iran. Its safe also. And rhey will love u because they are inlove with french allready. Pleace make time to go there. Speacially northeren iran. I cant wait to see u there in ur videos. Love from kurdistan.
why didnt you also visit the War Areas where every single buildings is destroyed by Asaad army?? In Damascus, a few kilometers from the Umayyad Mosque, there are uninhabited areas due to the destruction and killing of Assad's army. (Like the Douma and Mleiha area and many more)
Did you know that in the year 664 the caliph settled 5000 Slavic slaves near the city of Apamea in northern Syria? That would be just north of Damascus.
Welcome to Syria Come to the Syrian coast You tourists, all of you do not know where the beautiful sites in Syria are You just go to Sham Sham, Damascus itself
I feel that you do not understand anything about the history of this city, Damascus, because it was made by the Syrians themselves, and their name aramiac , and it does not mean that anything built in Damascus in the Roman or Ottoman period means that it belongs to them, the buildings were only built by the Syrian mentality in these periods
@@KinoYves I think what she meant is that everything you saw in Damascus is Syrian heritage. Damascus is one of the oldest cities in the world, it was there before most of the states that you named, if not all of them, it people are the same, they are Syrians, everything in the city belong to them and only them. In the end it is about the people, not the titles, rulers or borders.
This cotton candy tastes different from the usual cotton candy. The usual cotton candy tastes like sugar but this one has a different taste that I can not describe but it is far more delicious I can tell you something: when you eat the usual cotton candy you feel that you eat nothing but sugar while when you eat this kind you feel that you ate a kind of pastry. When I was a child I did not expect that it was made of sugar only. I thought it was made like any pastery of flour
The road to Damascus - This travel blog video, is a reminder for us all - wars not only destroy buildings & cities, but it uproots the souls of innocent people. The faces of people in Damascus seemed as if life have departed from them long time ago. Syria is a police state- don't travel there!

Syria looks like richer country then most of their neigboroughs, especialy Egypt and Iraq. Also, Damascus, even after wars, actually looks better even then Jerusalem. Every corner has special charm, atmosphere, everything looks very nice and old but well preserved. I do not have nothing against Egypt but Cairo is full of trash, dirty, over crowded, people knows to be verry agressive, especially street sellers. Damascus is diferent. You can feel some kind of cultuire, politnes and special atmnosphere. I must say, Syria looks the best so far compared to other Arab countries you visited. Lebanon, Tripoly to be exact, also looks nice, but Damascus is something special.
What a strange world If I just step into my country Syria ,I'll be dead because I'm sunni and tourists from far a way countries can visit it so easy Millions of Shia have replaced us ( the native people of Syria ) I hope we can meet again my lovely country
And there is still a majority of sunni in the country. Many have left, but I am pretty sure that no one is migrating to Syria... even shi'a are not migrating to Syria... it's very weird the way you try to spread false information. The many shi'a you see near the Umayyad mosque are pilgrims going to the shi'a holy mosque in Damascus, they are not living in Syria.
full of shit, am sunni, i go every year ! and i visit all cities ! you probably cant go because you are one of those who have done something against the government and not because you are Sunni, and yet you guys accuse the government of being racist !! am glad you are not in Syria, clearly Syria does not need you at this point in time, not before you learn to use your brain and appreciate the peace you, me and all the syrian had before this shitty war started.

Very fascinating and beautiful city with an incredible history

Is it just me or do I notice the Syrian people are a most sweet and blessed people?

Your channel is pretty good man.....I loved the way you show the places....well detailed.
Congrats from brazil
At 7:49 you say that they copy the andalusian muslims in the style of architecture, but you are actually in the same place of its origin, because the leader who established the caliphate of alAndaluss Abdulrahman I was from Damascuss originally, he was from the Umayyad dynasty . The impact and the Arabic influence on the Iberian peninsula and what is now called Andalucia was mainly from todays Syria and the Levante region.
Thank you for the video
All the world know that the origin of al andalous it’s Morocco so please syrien architecture is similar to ottoman one not Moroccan or Andalusian
Marhaba Ivan, at last the video's from Syria. I'm been waiting since a month....Your's Rula .
Marhaba Rula! Yeah, the Syrian videos are finally coming 😁
It is not copying Andalusian style, this is where that style originated.
Hey kino these kids are adorable, friendly and beautiful, hope one day I'll visit syria beautiful country, thanks for the video cheers and hulaluia...
One of the best videos on my beloved country.thank you for putting an effort to search and put this valuable information.

13:13 actually this was a description of gardens that surrounded Damascus
5:51 this young poor girl should be a student in a university and she's selling socks to finance her study , I'm unbelievably so sorry for her
That seen took my heart out
12:03 the Jupiter temple collapsed during an earthquake that changed the face of all Damascus
And the temple stones were not used in building the mosque but they were brought from Qasioun mountain in Damascus
You have so bad guide that wasn't doing her job right and gave you false information
7:12 actually Muslims in Andalusia copied Damascus because these houses are much older than the Islamic Andalusia , Umayyads fleed Damascus from Abbasid dynasty and headed to Andalusia where they built houses like those back in home
10:19 you can recognise conservative women of Shia militias that were brought from Iran , Iraq , Afghanistan and Pakistan
They are all in black
9:23 I'm so sorry that kids have to work instead of going to school in Syria
Our dictator let us in a useless war that no one can win and let our country be sanctioned by west

This cotton candy tastes different from the usual cotton candy.
The usual cotton candy tastes like sugar but this one has a different taste that I can not describe but it is far more delicious
I can tell you something: when you eat the usual cotton candy you feel that you eat nothing but sugar while when you eat this kind you feel that you ate a kind of pastry. When I was a child I did not expect that it was made of sugar only. I thought it was made like any pastery of flour
Hello, how did you get the visa? Is it easy? I hold a Canadian passport and there is no embassy in Canada
The name of the agency is in the description of the video
You can get the visa immediately upon arriving at borders
Thank you very much for the information. Did you go to Syria by plane or by land?
@@gomaizgomaiz7265 by land
Thank you very much, may God protect you, you are a wonderful person, we love you
I hope you enjoyed your trip!
What is the name of the hotel you stayed in?
فيديو رائع اهلا بكم في دمشق
Thank you!
The road to Damascus - This travel blog video, is a reminder for us all - wars not only destroy buildings & cities, but it uproots the souls of innocent people. The faces of people in Damascus seemed as if life have departed from them long time ago. Syria is a police state- don't travel there!
Am watching your videos and I like it

أهلا بك صديقي
أنا من سوريا
لغتي الإنجليزية ليست جيدة كي أتكمكن من التعليق بشمل جيد
يمكنك ترجمة التعليق وأتمنى أن تقرأه.
سعدت كثيرا بجولتك في دمشق
أنا أحد سكان المدينة وكل الشوارع التي مشيت بها أعرفها
أحييك على هذا العمل الرائع
عندما بدأت تمشي بمفردك في المدينة خفت عليك
لا لم أخف من الإرهاب أو رجال الشرطة أو أي شيء
خفت أن تضيع في مدينتنا😂😂
المدينة القديمة عبارة عن متاهه لمن لا يعرفها
بالنسبة للعساكر ورجال الشرطة هم موجودون لضمان عدم عودة الإرهاب
يمكنك التحدث معهم كأنهم مدنيون فهم موجودون لحمايتنا لا تخف منهم
شعرت أنك خفت بمفردك ولا أرى لذلك أي داعي
لكني أعذرك لأنك جديد وهذا طبيعي
مرة أخرى أحييك على هذا العمل الرائع وأهلا بك دائما في سورية 💗💗
Thanks. Not what I expected. I guess it is safe.
Some prices of shawarma and hotel would have been nice.
سوق الحميدية 💘😍
I was here when I was six years old🥺💘
May I ask the name of the hotel you stayed in and how you managed the booking? I am planning to visit in September, thank you.
I went via an agency, so I don't know about the hotel
A great budget choice is Hotel Haramein
you crazy to go there bro!!
Far from it, a safe welcoming city
ليش مجنون ؟؟؟
@@saazysaazy179 انا اتمنى ان اذهب ايضا ! لقد ذهبت هناك عندما كنت طفلا ! ولكن هل تضمنين ان اذهب و اعود بدون اذى او مشاكل ! لن انسى ابدا الطعام اللذيذ في ساحة المرجة و الناس الطيبين المبتسمين و الاسعار الرخيصة و البضائع الجيده! والله كانه كابوس ما حصل في سوريا ! طبعا مجنون من يغامر بحياته او حريته و يذهب الى اماكن نزاعات ! انا اتمنى ان تعود سوريا كما كانت زمان !

The travel agency can do it for you. There is Ayoub's contact in the description of the video.
هذا النظام الحاكم ، مجرم بحق الشعب كفى تلميع لصورته ، نعرف أن سوريا بلد جميل
Salut Yves comment as-tu rencontré Rula?

كان كل حلمي في خياتي ان ازور سوريا ! و اذا بالحرب اتت عليها ! مقطع الفيديو يشجعني ان زورها و احقق حلمي القديم الجديد ! شكرا !
مبروك عليك مابنصحك ابدا بتقرف
Syria looks like richer country then most of their neigboroughs, especialy Egypt and Iraq. Also, Damascus, even after wars, actually looks better even then Jerusalem. Every corner has special charm, atmosphere, everything looks very nice and old but well preserved. I do not have nothing against Egypt but Cairo is full of trash, dirty, over crowded, people knows to be verry agressive, especially street sellers. Damascus is diferent. You can feel some kind of cultuire, politnes and special atmnosphere. I must say, Syria looks the best so far compared to other Arab countries you visited. Lebanon, Tripoly to be exact, also looks nice, but Damascus is something special.
I bet that house is as old as America. I have seen those hundreds of years old houses in old Damascus.
I love you!! ❤❤❤❤
WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE HOTEL IN DAMASCUS
Are you still in Syria
No
Awesome 👍
What is the name of the hotel please
before war or after war?
the name of hotel please ?
اهلا في بلدي
اتمنى ان تكون قد استمتعت 🤍
It's a level 4 for State Dept, so I'd say no for Americans. For French okay.
What a strange world
If I just step into my country Syria ,I'll be dead because I'm sunni and tourists from far a way countries can visit it so easy
Millions of Shia have replaced us ( the native people of Syria )
I hope we can meet again my lovely country
You're too ignorant. I can't even begin to reply to you. Everyone in the video is sunni.
I'm sunni and have been to syria recently loooool
And there is still a majority of sunni in the country. Many have left, but I am pretty sure that no one is migrating to Syria... even shi'a are not migrating to Syria... it's very weird the way you try to spread false information.
The many shi'a you see near the Umayyad mosque are pilgrims going to the shi'a holy mosque in Damascus, they are not living in Syria.
full of shit, am sunni, i go every year ! and i visit all cities ! you probably cant go because you are one of those who have done something against the government and not because you are Sunni, and yet you guys accuse the government of being racist !! am glad you are not in Syria, clearly Syria does not need you at this point in time, not before you learn to use your brain and appreciate the peace you, me and all the syrian had before this shitty war started.
If you haven't killed any innocent people or any Syrian Army then you can go back to your country if you weren't a member of ISIS
amazing
the syrian "refugees" which are ecomoy migrants are traveling to syria back to europe for vacation.....
Btw, is it ever a problem at all being French 🇫🇷 in former colonies of France such as Syria & 🇱🇧 Lebanon ? It doesn’t appear to be…
In Lebanon or Syria, not at all, often, quite the opposite.
