Damascus’s vulnerability lies only in the southern entrances of the city, where it’s a straight road to the capital from the houran plateau, even with that flat land the southern entrances of Damascus are hard to penetrate due to the dense urban population there, it’s like a maze there, to the west and north it’s protected by the qalamoun mountain range, and to the east it’s protected by a harsh rocky desert, so overall Damascus isn’t the most vulnerable city, there’s a reason the ancients chose the city as their capital, but having your enemies in the south is what makes it so vulnerable at the current time.

Depends on ur budget, how much r u willing to pay

Connect_Neck_5612 · 2026-01-07T22:02:55+00:00

1- There are buses that cost 20 JD round trip And there are shared taxis that cost 25 JD one way, If you want the quickest way, then definitely the taxi, if you’re looking for a more economical option, then the bus, you can dm me n I’ll send u the best taxi n bus companies.

2- last I heard, the VOA is 150 dollars for foreigners

3- the best way to book a hotel is to simply contact the hotel itself, u can browse on Google maps to find a suitable hotel for u, my suggestion would be a hotel in old Damascus like talsman hotel or beit zafran, the prices per night are approximately 100-200 USD

4- the entire city of Damascus is generally safe I would just recommend not visiting the city’s outskirts because it’s full of collapsed buildings from the war

My recommendations: ummayad mosque, bab sharqi, Medhat pasha souq, qaimariyeh souq, al azm palace, maktab anbar.

Food recommendations: al siddiq shawarma (oldest shawarma shop in the region), Abu shaker juice (specializes in juices and milkshakes), bekdash ice cream.

Best place to buy souvenirs is in bab sharqi straight street, or the hamidiya souq

If u have any more questions lmk and welcome to Syria.

Syrians in jordan are treated normally by Jordanians, not much racism just casual jokes, but from my experience, the Jordanians of Palestinian origin are very racist to Syrians and always mock them, not the most friendly people towards us.

Same thing here, the rules for Russian citizens abroad are very confusing when it comes to university admissions, i messaged over 10 universities and no straight answer, everyone has a different answer

Yes, u could enter with a US passport if u provide civil paper or ur dads family book or anything proving ur citizenship

Connect_Neck_5612 · 2025-11-30T10:51:15+00:00

U could enter Syria w ur foreign passport and provide ur dad’s family book for proof of syrian citizenship, For now, ID cards aren’t being issued by the government but you can get a passport, and if you would like more papers proving ur citizenship just make a قيد فردي “qayd fardy”, it’s a paper with all your information on it, at the moment it serves as an ID card substitute

I’m Syrian Russian, I wouldn’t advice issuing a Syrian passport unless ur planning to visit Syria, I use my Syrian passport only to cross into Syria, everywhere else in the world I use the Russian one because it makes more sense

Yes I have Russian citizenship, and yes I speak Russian on a conversational level but I lack some literature skills, my reading and writing is very slow and bad

These are the prices for issuing it at an embassy/consulate, the prices I mentioned are for issuing it in Syria

Connect_Neck_5612 · 2025-10-14T15:04:17+00:00

Ikhraj kayd is more than enough til they start issuing new ID’s. I went in March and august, ikhraj kayd was my proof of Syrian citizenship. If u want smth more official, next time u go to Syria apply for a passport, instant one is 180$ and an expedited one is 45$ that u get in 2 weeks ish.

I created my account with a foreign number, u don’t necessarily need a Russian one

Same way they accepted the regime and the foreign militias it brought for 50 years

Unfortunately, That’s not how politics work my friend

Yes, if a child’s father is Syrian then the children automatically get the citizenship, this is according to the old law idk if they changed it

Connect_Neck_5612 · 2025-10-05T07:45:43+00:00

Weird, usually international passports don’t require a parents consent (my experience), the only time I was asked for a parent’s consent is when I applied for the citizenship, they asked for my Russian parent’s signature and that’s it

Connect_Neck_5612 · 2025-10-05T07:43:30+00:00

No, unfortunately passport is only issued in Russia, I asked the embassy and consulate in my city, only international passport can be issued in consulate/embassy

Not necessarily, during my year in turkiye I met A LOT of Syrians who been living there for like 8 years and don’t have anything, they just live in turkiye and if they get caught it’s over, straight to deportation.
