How SAFE Is SYRIA? I Travelled To ALEPPO To Find Out! #safetravel2025 #syrianvoices #culturetrip What’s it like to travel through Syria just weeks after the fall of a 54-year dictatorship? In 2025, I entered Syria to witness the changes firsthand, meeting locals who could finally speak freely after decades of silence. I visited Maaloula, a Christian town scarred by past persecution, and listened to heartfelt stories about faith, fear, and hope. In Aleppo, I spoke with a hotel owner whose business was devastated by war, yet remains optimistic about Syria's new chapter. I also crossed crumbling infrastructure, like the Al-Rastan bridge - damaged by past Russian airstrikes - and discovered the resilience of Syrians rebuilding their lives. From ancient churches to modern fears, this journey opened my eyes to a nation caught between healing and uncertainty. This is more than just a travel vlog - it's a raw look at post-Assad Syria, from the people who lived through it.
