Traveling To Syria? The Things You Will Miss In Present Syria!

If you are thinking of traveling to Syria recently, you should read this blog post to know about present Syria for a safe journey.

Syria is a Middle Eastern country, has been at war since 2011. The long ongoing war has made Syria a country of death and destruction. Due to the war, the country has lost more than 5,00,000 people, including innocent children who even don’t know what does war mean, and 5,589,453 Syrians have become refugees — according to UNCHR information 2018.

Syria is another example of the cruelty of war in the current world. The open warfare is one of the biggest tragedies that our world has been observing for years silently. Such war is never acceptable, which brings tears in innocent children’s eyes, makes people homeless, creates piles of dead bodies of civilians.

The present destruction can make people doubtful about past gorgeous Syria, the real Syria, and its true beauty. Damascus, the capital city of Syria was an inspiration for writers and artists from around the world, but now the beautiful descriptions of travelers about Syria might sound unrealistic.

Once Mark Twain (1835–1910) wrote “We shall remember …… Damascus, the “Pearl of the East”, the pride of Syria, the fabled garden of Eden, the home of princes and genii of the Arabian Nights, the oldest metropolis on Earth, the one city in all the world that has kept its name and held its place and looked serenely on while the Kingdoms and Empires of four thousand years have risen to life, enjoyed their little season of pride and pomp, and then vanished and been forgotten.”

This is the bad luck of our world, “the Pearl of the East” is becoming a lost history. However, if you are thinking of traveling to Syria recently, the things you will miss in present Syria include:
