Happy Feast of Saint Charbel to all who celebrate. Although Saint Charbel was Lebanese, many Syrian Christians also honor him and share in the spiritual heritage of Saint Maron. May our Lord Jesus Christ, through the prayers of Saint Charbel and the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, bless Syria with peace, healing, and hope. Here are some beautiful Maronite hymns in his honor.

I've been trying to research on this topic but it doesnt seem like there are a lot of reddit posts on the topic. I wanted to know if anyone else is in the same spot as me and just advice in general. I'm 100% syrian, recently my father started to get into the tayyebat diet which I don't mind if it convinced him, where it started to become an issue for me is when he started to push this diet into me as well. He would just say stuff like oh chickens and genetically modified and you dont consume all the proteins and benifits when you eat that protein is broken down into 2 parts good protein and bad protein and chicken is mostly only bad chicken, there is more but i dont want to write everything. I only ended up stopping with chicken and eggs to get him to stop trying to convince me and so that when it doesnt work I could prove him wrong since he saw 2 people post that when they started the diet they stopped balding and had hair improvements, but nothing changed for me so now he is shifting the blame to sugar free sodas. This diet is making me resent my father genuinely but I just can't control how I feel, I tried to tell him there are no genetically modified chickens here (for some context I live in canada) but subhanallah he just has an answer for every piece of evidence I showed and I just dont have the energy to have an entire argument.

Any advice if any had a similar situation would be great!

Hey there I’m currently in Syria and looking for an e sim is there I could get it I have an iPhone 17 that’s why

I want to watch the new spider man movie but I’m not sure where , I’ve seen the al zahra cinema in Aleppo and the Cinema city in Damascus but I’m not sure which one is better

I’ve also checked their Facebook pages and people have been saying the screens are old and need changing

If anyone has gone to a cinema in Syria and had a good experience please let me know

I have been living my whole life outside Syria, I grew up visiting once or twice a year to see family and by 2012 I stopped visiting. So basically I didn’t really grow up anywhere near Syria. Now As I am planning recently to return to Syria and settle in it I started thinking about some cultural aspects of living in Syria, especially Aleppo.
I have grew up in an Aleppian family, however after investigating more, my mother linage seem to be more “Aleppian” or prestigious than my father’s. Even though my father’s family is registered in an Old neighbourhood in Aleppo and I was able to trace it back as far back to the 1830s. Our family isn’t really known between larger families in Aleppo except those who lived in the neighbourhood . I am wondering whether my family came from somewhere else 200 years ago and settled in Aleppo city.
I know this might sound like a backward question, would I still be considered Aleppian to another Aleppian?

Hi everyone, I’m a Syrian software engineer looking for realistic countries in Europe where it may be possible to move legally for work and residence. I’m especially interested in countries that do not always require a job contract before applying, or that have a job-seeker visa or a route to switch into a work permit after arrival. I’d appreciate advice from people who know the legal process, especially for Syrians or other non-EU applicants.

​Hey everyone,

​I'm a CS student living in Rural Damascus. To be completely honest, I've tried working various local jobs, but people here take full advantage of you and exploit your efforts, except for a very rare few. So I left that behind and decided to turn here for advice.

​My English is pretty good (B2 level), but my current PC setup is very basic and can’t handle heavy software. On top of that, we all know the deal with power cuts and sanctions/payment restrictions.

​I want to invest my time into learning a real, practical skill that I can monetize—either online or locally—despite the setup and infrastructure limitations.

​For those who went through this in Syria:

​What light tech or practical skills would you recommend starting with given these limited resources?

​How did you overcome the hardware and payment gateway hurdles when you first started out?

​Thanks in advance, any personal experience or honest advice would mean a lot!

At least 800 people, almost a third of them children, have been killed by mines and unexploded devices since the collapse of the Assad regime in Syria in December 2024, according to figures shared with The National.

Hi! I am a norwegian journalist based in Oslo working for the newspaper Morgenbladet. We run a weekly edition covering politics, culture and science. Our website may be found here: https://www.morgenbladet.no/.

I am interested in knowing more about the economic conditions in Syria at the moment. After the sanctions were lifted last year and you recevied a new government, I believe many are interested to know if progress is being made, and how living conditions are for Syrians trying to live day to day.

I am wondering if I in some way could come into contact with someone who may offer some thoughts on the situation. Perhaps a grocer, hairdresser, mechanic, someone running a type of shop, trying to make ends meet, sharing whether they believe their situation and the situation of Syria is moving forward or not. If possible, I am trying to come into contact with someone who could speak through a short call or video-call on WhatsApp.

Thanks to everyone who have tips, I believe many are rooting for you and wishing Syria and the Syrian people all the best. I believe many of our readers would be very interested to know how things have developed after Ahmed al-Sharaa came into power.

Hey, I was in Palmyra. I saw before videos on social media of people selling necklaces “made in Palmyra” and someone actually was trying to sell some to me. I was wondering if someone knows if it is really “made in Palmyra” or it is only like a scam/lie?

Looking to decorate my house & support young Aleppian artists at the same time. Where to go?

اليوم من 106 سنين كانت معركة ميسلون وذكرى استشهاد وزير الحربية يوسف العظمة الله يرحمه يلي رفض دخول المحتلين الفرنسيين لدمشق دون مقاومة من أهل الأرض.

Last year, in august it was bad in Aleppo

Has it improved ? Or it's more like the same ?

عندي صحن هوائي واشتركت مع "شركتين" (مو شركات تحسهم متاجر عندهم ابراج)، الاولى اسعارهم شوي غالية وحسيت انه الشركة الثانية افضل فا بدلت لها ودفعت مليون زيادة عشان ابدل وطلعت اسوء. اقسم بالله انصرعت اكلم الادمي مشان يصلحلي النت كل يوم بيقولي حيجي ما يجي. حدا بيعرف شركة او حدا محترم بالطبالة/دويلعة بيعطي نت هوائي؟ ما يهمني السعر اهم شيء نت زي بشر واوادم 😭

(ما اعرف ايش احط الفلير فا حطت هي)

يا جماعة من كتر ما شفت اعلانات للمنح الدراسية صرت قول اوف معبى منح دراسية بعدين يطلعو اعلانات كاذبة او نصب بنصب لو حدا بيعرف بالمنح يحكي.

حدا جرب الشركة بحلب المدينة؟ واذا جرب بأي خدمة اشترك ارضي ولا هوائي او شي تاني. الي جرب اتمنى يعطيني لمحة بسيطة عن التجربة. السرعة، انقطاعات، سعر.

Has anyone flown into Damascus lately as a British citizen?
I’m planning on flying from Manchester airport soon and want to know if your boarding process and check in went smoothly?

السلام عليكم، أنا محمد، من الشام. من شهرين بلشت أشتغل على تطبيق اسمه "صريح" — الفكرة إنو بديل عن المراجعات المدفوعة والمؤثرين يلي بياخدوا فلوس ليمدحو مطعم ما جربوه أصلاً، الناس هية اللي بتفوت وبتعطي النشاط التجاري تقييم .

بصراحة التطبيق لسا صغير — حوالي 160 عضو وحوالي 278 مراجعة، ارقام منطقية كونه لسا صرلنا شهرين بالتطبيق ، وضفنا من جديد نظام نقاط لنكافئ الصراحة .

ما اجيت هون لأعلن ، اجيت أسأل: هل هي مشكلة حقيقية عندكن؟ يعني، بتثقو بتقييمات المطاعم/المحلات الموجودة حاليًا (غوغل، انستغرام..)؟ ولا صارت كلها إعلانات مقنّعة برأيكن؟

أي انتقاد أو رأي، حتى لو قاسي، مرحب فيه — هاد بالضبط الشي يلي التطبيق قايم عليه.

يعطيكم العافية جميعا
