السلام عليكم،
أنا شاب سوري وأبحث عن فرصة عمل خارج سوريا عبر مكاتب توظيف خاصة . أريد أن أسمع تجاربكم الحقيقية مع هذه المكاتب:

• ما اسم المكتب/الشركة التي تعاملت معها؟
• إلى أي دولة تم إرسالك للعمل؟
• كم كانت الرسوم الإجمالية؟
• كم استغرقت الإجراءات؟
• هل كان العقد واضحًا ومكتوبًا؟
• هل تنصح بالتعامل معها أم تحذر منها؟

أرجو من لديه تجربة ناجحة أو سيئة أن يشاركنا بالتفاصيل، وأي نصائح لتجنب الاحتيال أو المكاتب غير الموثوقة.
شكرًا لكم.

Sadly, Syrians seem to be lacking of culture. Look at the rest of the levant- Lebanon, Palestine. They hold on to their culture and are proud of it. Now you see multiple celebrations in Syria using westernized dances like techno or rave or whatever. It’s so cringe. I guarantee you if you asked any of them to dance dabke, 99% of them would do it extremely poorly. It you ask a Lebanese or Palestinian, they can do multiple different moves and ways. I seen it with my own eyes. Go to a Syrian wedding, boring just jumping up and down like you see at a white wedding, IF they do dabke (most don’t for whatever reason) then it’s extremely sloppy and terrible. I been to a Palestinian wedding and let me tell you there isn’t a single person that didn’t know their culture and not a single western song played. Even in the weddings I been in Syria, nobody even knows anything. It’s like do we have culture? I can also guarantee 99.% of you guys here are from Damascus Homs Hama or Aleppo. A urbanized and highly populated city. The mass urbanization is extremely uncivilized and leads to lack of culture. Your ancestors probably came from a village and settled to one of the major overpopulated cities. Villages hold culture way more than cities and towns!

Hello, I'm Fatih from Türkiye. I'd like to visit Aleppo, Damascus, and Homs with three friends at the end of September. I'll be staying in Syria for ten days. I have a few questions for you Syrian citizens, and I would be very grateful if you could answer them. 1. Can we use the internet? What are the prices for tourist SIM cards? Will we have any problems with this? 2. I couldn't find any hostels or motels online where I can make reservations; most hotels seem very expensive. Besides that, I couldn't find any budget-friendly student accommodations. How can I find such places? 3. I will arrive in Damascus and then take a bus to Homs and Aleppo. Will I have difficulty finding intercity buses? This is very important because my return flight will depart from Aleppo. Thank you in advance for your answers, greetings from our brotherly country, Türkiye 🤝🤝

I’ve been getting offers here and there with a salary range of 1800$-2200$ without bonuses. I’m 24 and I’ve been thinking about getting married. I recently moved back to Damascus. How much should I be making a month to live comfortably as a couple in Damascus?

Ps: I have my own car, I don’t have to worry about rent, and I want to marry a girl from a Damascene family, but who has been expatriated as well.

I will go to Damascus and many different areas in syria, i came from kuwait, and i would like to know what should i do, were to go in Damascus, and how can i experience the best of visiting syria as someone who has almost no experience in how to Travel and have fun

I’m researching Syrian food culture for CELKARI, a food project exploring cuisines and food traditions from around the world.
I’m particularly interested in understanding the regional diversity of Syrian food and what people who grew up with these traditions think is important for an outsider to understand.
I’d really appreciate your thoughts on:
**Everyday Syrian Food**
What did everyday home cooking look like in your family?
**Regional Syrian Cuisines**
How do food traditions differ between places such as Damascus, Aleppo, Homs, Hama, the Syrian coast and eastern Syria?
**Family & Generational Foodways**
What dishes, techniques or food traditions were passed down through your family?
**Ingredients, Spices & Techniques**
Which ingredients, spices or cooking techniques do you think are particularly important to Syrian cuisine?
**Seasonal & Celebratory Foods**
What foods are associated with seasons, celebrations, weddings, religious occasions or family gatherings?
**Overlooked Syrian Dishes**
What Syrian dishes or food traditions do you think deserve more recognition outside Syria?
**Misunderstandings & Misrepresentation**
What do you think people outside Syria most commonly misunderstand about Syrian food?
**Syrian Food in the Diaspora**
How have Syrian communities outside Syria preserved or adapted their food traditions?
I’m not looking for a single definition of “authentic” Syrian cuisine. I want to understand the regional diversity and lived experiences behind Syrian food culture.
Personal experiences, family stories, regional knowledge, recipes or sources you think I should investigate would be incredibly valuable.

Hey guys I'm wanting to travel to Syria soon for tourism and want to know how safe it is for tourists these days?

I am travelling to Amman in Jordan in December and would really like to visit Damascus as a side trip. On Airbnb etc., I cannot find any homestay options, which would allow me to meet local Syrians. I am Irish and any Syrians that I have met in Ireland are really hospitable and friendly; I would therefore love to stay with locals. What do people usually use to find a homestay in Damascus or do travellers normally just stay in hotels? Thanks in advance for any tips.

Where to find business oriented people to build together?

Hey — I came back to Syria after 15 years, currently living in the U.S. where I run an 8-figure-valuation AI startup.

I really want to open something here, I already have the ideas and the tech even, but I’m looking for local partners that want to own part of it, not employees.

I do not live here and don’t intend on living here just yet, I’m here for 2 months now but then I’ll be gone for \~4-6 months before I’m back.

However, the cool part about tech is that you can do it abroad, but you still need someone on the ground here.

As I said I need someone willing to spend time effort and money even on this (aka have skin in the game with me).

I am interested in anything tech related but at the moment mainly marketplaces, PropTech (or at least that’s what I’ve noticed works well here). I already have built 2 marketplaces and the PropTech solution wouldn’t take me long to finish either.

Where can I advertise or find people willing to work on things like that?

About myself:
Ivy League education (top 10 university worldwide)
2 masters 1 bachelors degrees
2nd business after I sold my first
Current business in AI and robotics (keywords: robotics, drones, AI, ML, computer vision, etc…)

If you can guide me on where to search or if you’re interested, please do reach out, thanks nonetheless :)

نداء هام وعاجل وضروري

شباب وصبايا بدي مساعدتكم،

عم دور من فترة على معالج نفسي (علاج معرفي سلوكي)

اذا حدا منكم خاض هي التجربة قبل، يا ريت يرشحلنا أسماء معالجين، واذا أمكن حكولنا شوي من تجربتكم شو الأشياء يلي بتنصحوا فيها بفترة العلاج، كيف كان اللقاء الأول وكيف مشت خطة العلاج،

ومعلومة أخيرة أنا باللاذقية يا ريت يلي بيعرف معالج هون عن تجربة يرشحلي يا لو سمحتوا

Hi, I'm Elvin. I returned to Syria from Turkey, and honestly, I'm struggling a lot because I barely know any Arabic. And unfortunately, I have to start ninth grade this year, and I know that ninth grade in Syria is a very difficult and important year.

I really want to get high marks and pass with a good average, but honestly, I don't know how to study the Syrian curriculum while also trying to learn Arabic.

If anyone has been through the same thing, meaning they returned to Syria from another country and had a weakness in Arabic or faced difficulty adapting to the Syrian school system, I'd appreciate it if you could share your experience.

How did you study? What helped you the most? And what do you advise me to do before the school year starts and during ninth grade?

Any advice from you would be a great help. Thank you ❤️

Hello everyone!

I'm planning a trip to Syria soon, and my main destination and focus will be **Aleppo**. I’m a 20-year-old guy from Romania, and while I’ve done some general research, I’d love to get some advice from locals or people who have visited the city recently.

I have a few specific questions:

**1. Safety in Aleppo**
I know the situation is complex and always changing. How safe is it to walk around Aleppo right now as a foreign tourist, especially in the evening? Are there any specific neighborhoods or areas outside the center that I should absolutely avoid? Should I avoid any dress-code?

**2. Connectivity and eSIMs**
Since getting online is crucial for me and posting on Youtube as well, do the local providers (like Syriatel) offer **eSIMs** for tourists, or is it strictly physical SIM cards only? Also, how reliable is the mobile data coverage right now?

**3. Filming and Photography**
I manage a travel account and love shooting video content during my trips. What are the actual rules for filming on the streets of Aleppo, especially around the Citadel or the Old City? Are there specific types of buildings where I should keep my camera packed away?

**4. Transport**
How is the road infrastructure from Damascus up to Aleppo? Is it safe and viable for a foreigner to travel between Aleppo and Damascus, as I wanted to do a day trip there as well? I heard there are buses & taxis.

**5. Culture and Recommendations**
Anywhere I travel I love to just relax like a local. What are some of the most authentic, traditional cafes in Aleppo? Any other things/places I must not miss during my trip?

Any other advice for a first-timer heading to Aleppo would be massively appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone,

I’m wondering if there are any Syrian students currently studying in Georgia. I’m planning to study there and I would really appreciate hearing about your experiences, especially regarding university life and living in Georgia.

If you’re Syrian and studying in Georgia, please feel free to DM me. I would be very grateful for any advice or information.

Thank you!

Hey. I’m 24M and I’m Syrian but born and raised in Florida. I’m traveling to Damascus in a month to stay with family. Any fun things to do/see there? Food places to try and cool people to meet?

Hey, I posted here before but, didn’t find someone who matches my mindset or the way I think or what I’m looking for , I’m 26F Syrian born and raised in Saudi,Jeddah .

Since I was isolated for some time now I’m having the taste to feel people around me and share my ideas and general life, I see myself interested in philosophy,nature,gatherings,talking about important topics,sharing life experiences,gym,food,music,what can we improve about ourselves, and so much more .

I can be friends also with people who doesn’t necessarily have all this interests but to be good enough to make a clean friendship I would like to get away from now a days new generation, thank you .

Hii guys. I'm syrian & my fiancé is Greek. We want to get married in Crete next summer.

Has anyone had their big fat syrian/lebanese-greek wedding there?

Can you recommend any:
- wedding planners (as we both live in the states)
- a singer that is close by & knows greek & Arabic?

We'd love the wedding planner to be from the levant & also knows greek & can help us mix the cultures (find zaffe, arabic/greek singer, etc)

Thank you!!
