I Was SHOCKED by Damascus! The Truth About Syria & Its People

Syria Travel Vlog #adventuretravel #historicsites #foodie

Hi Everyone and Welcome to Carrie Patsalis Channel

Is Syria really what the media portrays it to be? I was completely shocked when I stepped into the heart of Damascus, Syria. From the bustling markets in Damascus, where I tasted the most incredible Syrian nuts, to meeting warm and welcoming local artisans, this journey was nothing short of eye-opening!

I explored the historic Damascus souks, enjoyed authentic Syrian food like fattoush, hummus, and kibbeh labanieh, and even visited a caravanserai where Agatha Christie once stayed. The people I met and the culture I experienced changed my perspective on Syria completely.
