I traveled to Syria many times and stayed there over half an year. I love Syria and Syrian - nice and friendly people and great food, especially the fruits. The only thing I don't like, as many of you commented is the Damascus airport. However I have no much problem with the facility of the airport, but the service sucks. It took me over hours to went through the border control while I was leaving Syria!! and only about 10 people ahead of me!!! The border control officers are the pain in the a$$, they ruin many people;s great impression of Syria. The most I like is the old Damascus, city of Pamila, Euphrate river, Tigris, Jaabar lake ... and the beautiful Syrian women. Bayerli, don’t be disappointed.

I visited Syria last year and I loved every single thing: the food is delicious, the ppl warm and friendly, the nature special and unique, and history at every corner. About the airport well I guess if you are a modernity-lover you would really get annoyed by it but since I preffer simplicity I didn't mind at all. Everything was great and inspiring and lovely...I would go there every summer and winter! Syria is THE beautiful country.

The people are not as friendly and nice as everyone describes them. They are ignorant self absorbed and racist. I hated my stay. All shops try to rip you off along with the taxis. It's even worse at airports where they don't hassle their own kind but give me a hard time..oh could it possibly be because i am African--mind you with a Canadian passport. Syria is the worst country i have visited and i would never go there again, even though i was told to give it another chance.

When I travel there are certain things that interest me in a country and the only thing interesting for me in Syria is Kebab. Thats it. All the time in the world won't make Syria more interesting for me. It has nothing to do with time.
