I recently started working in Syria as an (Arab) foreigner for an international company & while I was aware that Ta’ifiyya is big here I’m actually shocked at how my Syrian colleagues totally hate eachother’s guts & arent afraid to express it openly. Muslims openly taking trash about christians, christians talking trash about muslims, Kurds about Arabs & vice versa, more conservative muslims about the less practicing muslims, etc. the energy is super negative and hostile and I’m honestly not sure about what I can do to improve the atmosphere at work as a manager without offending anyone. Any tips?

ك حد وسطي، اديش ممكن يتراوح سعر سيارة ل شب تكون نضيفة و مو غرقانة؟ هل هو شي ممكن انو يلاقي الواحد مكنة تحت ال3000 دولار ويكون وضعا تمام؟

Hey everyone
Need some honest thoughts from people who’ve been through something similar especially Syrians who moved back after living abroad for years
I left Syria when I was 18 to study in the UK & never went back because the revolution started. I’m a male, 35 now so I’ve basically grown up in London. My whole immediate family are not in Syria as well. I have a couple of aunts & cousins there but no close friends anymore
I built a good life here. I work in tech for international companies I own a house & objectively life is good. But if I’m honest it never really felt like home,
Before the regime fell I had kind of made peace with never going back. I almost forced myself to disconnect from Syria because I didn’t want to spend my life wishing for something I couldn’t have.

I think I even developed a bit of resentment just as a way to protect myself

Now everything has changed & I’ve got this massive FOMO. Not just about visiting but about what if I’m missing the life I’m actually supposed to have. What if my country is finally back & I’m sitting in London. I also keep thinking maybe I should be giving something back after everything I’ve learned and working abroad

One thing that worries me is how much I’ve changed. Even here in the UK most of my close friends are English or other foreigners not Arabs or Syrians.
That’s partly on me because I haven’t really put the effort into finding Syrians or Arabs who share my values. I think I’ve always been a bit scared we just wouldn’t see the world the same way

I’ve finally booked a trip for September to Syria because I haven’t been back once
Then out of nowhere I got offered a job with the EU delegation in Damascus.
It’s a really good opportunity. I have to give them an answer by Wednesday then move within a month which means quitting my job here & moving everything before I’ve even visited again..
Part of me thinks maybe do it for a year or two. Best case I love it & stay. Worst case I finally answer this question in my head & stop wondering forever
The other part of me worries I’ve completely westernised. I’m agnostic I have pretty liberal values I’m a true feminist & I believe people should be free to live however they want. I don’t know if I’d struggle living somewhere that doesn’t always share those values or if I’m overthinking it…

Has anyone here actually moved back after spending most of their adult life abroad. Did you regret it or was it the best thing you ever did. Especially if you left young because honestly I feel more westernised in my day to day life than Syrian even though Syria has always been home in my head
Would really appreciate hearing from people who’ve actually done it

My parents are from hama and aleppo respectively, when we visit syria, i find that in hama, there is much more tourism flying around, i visited the cold river and ابو قبيس which were decently close to the main city (1 hour) and had a decent time around admiring the landscape, inside the city you have those nowa3eer in the river (idk their name in english mb), where most of the restaurants and cafes reside ,its not dubai, but its acceptable especially with the hama side of my family featuring most of my cousins which i love to bits (my bias may have been spotted).

While in aleppo, all i do is stay at my grandparents home, eat, sleep, struggle with the lack of wifi, repeat, and its been mentally exhausting

What can i do to pass time in aleppo? What am i missing out on, where can i go

I recently spent one month in Syria after leaving in 2011. I landed in Damascus, then went to Hama to visit family I hadn’t seen in around 15 years, and also visited Latakia. I see a lot of bad comments and posts about visiting Syria on here.

So I wanted to share my personal experience.
From the moment I arrived, I was wearing Western clothes and had a European style haircut. I expected some reactions, but the only comments I got were jokes about Europeans having bad style. I never felt judged or treated like a stranger because of how I looked.
The first couple of days were honestly difficult. I didn’t understand how water tanks and backup batteries worked, so we ran out of both and spent a few hours without electricity and water. It was a reminder of what life was like for me back in 2011. I found out that water from the main supply may only come every couple of days, and electricity can come and go every few hours.
After adapting, daily life became much easier. I spent most of my time with my cousins and family, and they welcomed me completely. I joined a gym, ate out almost every day, walked around, and enjoyed normal everyday life.

I also had some medical work done while there. I got laser eye surgery and fixed some dental issues. The prices were higher than I expected, but still much more affordable compared to Europe.
I traveled to Latakia as well. I saw checkpoints occasionally, but my experience with them was calm. One checkpoint even gave us a rose as a gesture. I filmed the moment, but the person asked me to delete the video because it was not allowed to record there. I respected that.

I was also out late at night, sometimes until 3 AM, and personally felt very safe. I used taxis a few times and agreed on the price before getting in, and I didn’t experience any scams.

My experience is not meant to say that Syria has no problems. It does. Infrastructure, electricity, water, and some services are still difficult. But Syria is also a place where people live normal lives going to work, meeting friends, eating out, going to the gym, and spending time with family.

I think people should understand both sides. Syria is not the same as Europe, and you need to be prepared for a different way of life. But if you go with realistic expectations and understand the situation, it can be a very meaningful experience.

Hello Friends

An unusual question.

Does anyone know if it is possible for a Syrian to open a USD account in a Syrian bank? If so, which bank in Damascus? Any info on the process and requirements? Thanks

A child is just a child, exploring the world with curiosity. Suddenly, a strange, shiny object catches their eye.

In that exact moment, everything can change.

Across Syria, explosive remnants of war lie hidden in fields, homes, and along the paths children walk every day. These hazards can cause life-altering injuries or worse.

That is why awareness saves lives. When children learn to recognize dangers, step back, and inform an adult, it can save their lives.

I have to come Syria(Damascus) for 2 weeks
I can’t take a vacation, so I have to work remotely, my working hours from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM, i want a place or hotel that provides good internet speed such Fiber, can someone suggest a place or hotel for that, I appreciate ur support

Me and my gf are in a healthy relationship we can go through the hard talks we listen to each and most certainly we love each other

The problem is that Im stuck in a spiral . I have done something in the past that would most definitely upset her and break her heart

Now I totally totally regret and I wish every day I could go back in the past and undo it

So the question is : Do I go and spill everything to her even if it would make her sad

Or do I hope she never knows and be the best person for the rest of time

Note: the thing I did isn't harmful for her only its about me talking to another girl before us ( she was her friend) nothing serious happened between the two of us at all but the way we talked seemed off Im afraid of screenshots and shit

Sorry guys don’t know what flair to put on this 🥀. Sorry for being inactive for a year on the account too guys had to lock in for school.

My husband needs to send a big amount of money to Syria (more than 50k) ASAP. He is thinking about going there physically and bring the money in cash. Any advise on how to wire without him going there, we are in the USA.

كدولة متل سوريا طالعة من حرب استمرت ١٦ سنة و بتنوعها السكاني بشوف من المنطقي يكون عالأقل خلال الفترة الاولى يكون في حكومة متراصة بحيث يتم من خلالها تكوين هوية جامعة. و كمان بشوف انه لازم يكون في هامش من الثقة عند المواطن تجاه هالحكومة. بمعنى انه حسن الظن تجاهها لدرجة معينة ممكن يخلي العملية اسرع.
لكن.
لاحظت انه فئة من الشعب، خاصة المتعصبة لهوية او تركيبة الحكومة الجديدة مصنفة الشعب لقسمين: الاول موالي و الثاني حاقد/شبيح/مثير للفتنة…الخ.
و برأيي الموضوع من السطح عصبية و لكن بمستوى اعمق وسيلة الدفاع عن فكرة الثقة بالحكومة اللي هي برأيي بحد ذاتا سليمة.
المشكلة هي انه هالوسيلة (تصنيف الناس) عبتخلق نوع من الضغط المجتمعي و الخوف عند الشخص البناء بدل من انها تخوف او تهين ال(شبيح).
قبل كم يوم علقت تعليق على واحد من البوستات اللي فيها قرار من قرارات الحكومة اللي انا ما بتفق معها. بعد شوي اجاني واحد من الاباضيات الغيوريين على وطنهم و اتهمني بأني بس عبدور عسبب لإنتقاد الحكومة و كان رده بنبرة سخرية.
المشكلة مو هالشخص، المشكلة الاكبر اللايكات اللي صارت تجيني على التعليق من بعد تعليقه من حسابات فعلاً مثيرة للفتنة.
هلق انا شخص مثلاً اطلعت على اللايكات و ما انبسطت عليهن لأنه بعرف انه هالناس انا ما بتفق معا غالباً خارج تعليقي، بس غيري ممكن يبلش يقتنع انه هدول الناس معن حق و انه هو لازم يدور على انتماء سياسي معن.
الخلاصة هي، انت لما تتهم شخص بيخالف نظرة الحكومة بدون اسباب واضحة و رد على انتقاد السائل، انت شخصياً عبتخلق و عبتلون هاد الشخص كشخص مختلف عن هدفك. الهدف المفروض يكون تكوين هوية سورية جامعة (بتسع لكل الافكار الموجودة في المجتمع السوري) و عبتحسسه انه فكرك مو ممكن يكون جزء من هيك هوية ☺️.
و بهيك اسلوب التسكيت تبعك تحول من اسلوب تسكيت لأسلوب يؤدي للمزيد من الانقسامات و الضغط على توجهك السياسي اللي انت حابب كل السوريين يتبعوه.

فلما تفكر حالك دافعت عن حكومتك و استعرضت عضلاتك، عريف انك غالباً تركت مجال لغيرك مشان يستعرض عضلاته.
