Keep in mind, that he bought all that from tourist spots which are more expensive than any non-tourist area or shops
Im syrian and currently still living there. Just to let you know the tamer hindi was a bit expensive a cup costs 500 cuz they sell it in plastic bags each bag has enough for 6 people now a bag usually costs 5000 SP but the tamer hindi tends to be a bit more expensive 7000 SP so it should been sold for 1000 a cup. Bonus:its not a pizza its a cheese pie A pizza costs between 2 and 7 dollars. It may seem cheap to tourists but for the people that are living here everything is expensive cuz a normal person would make between 10 and 40 bucks a month And there are exceptions that make more than 40 but are rarely seen
That date pastry bread looks amazing 🤤
I was in Syria in 1977. I was highly impressed by the beauty and sites across the country. Unforgettable.
I m Indian I had 2 Syrian friends working with me in uae.. during the 2015 war .. one friend lost his entire family got crushed 8 members and while on duty hours he gets a call.. worst thing is since I use to work in administration HR .. he use to always tell me he has kids and parents and family and he send almost 80% for family and save a little just for a sunny day.. I couldn’t even look in his eyes feeling so ashamed.. it was the worst ever situation to even say something..the innocent always suffer … every time I think about war I always remember him even though now I m back in India… I hope and pray this never happens to anyone .. let’s get together and put a pause to all the war.. we don’t need to die.. innocent don’t need to die or suffer.. God is great … everything will pass by with time.. let’s hope and pray ..❤
In 2009 1 USD was 60 lira! That should tell you how terrible the war has been for the Syrian people. I hope things get better with all my heart
While comparing it to US prices like many people tend to do, don’t forget to compare living standards and average income as well.
Gorgeous country, rich culture and wonderful people. I hope it gets back to what it was once before ❤
$1 used to be 50 liras when I was a kid Yes that’s the official exchange rate, you get more lira on the market
I am Syrian. l live in Damascus. This is Souq-Al-Hameediyah where you are filming. And I am literally lost for words, and can only lament what happened to my country in these last 13 years..
When we lived there before the war, $1 = 50 Lira, if I remember correctly. Thanks for taking us back to Hamadiyyah. Next, try some Syrian ice cream / bouza. It's incredible. God protect the people and their country, ameen.
الله يعزها ويحررها ❤
As a Syrian living in Damascus, I really appreciate your visit and I hope you did too! Syrian people are wholesome and generous ❤
The average wage in Syria is 30-35$ usd per month.

Syria is the country of gifts❤
The Country Is Beautiful ! . . . Peace & Joy From Tijuana , Mexico 🇲🇽 Ray Aaron ❤
This blew my mind, I was studying in sirya in 2009 and I use to change 100 euros for 7.000 liras. Also with that money you had like more than enough to live for at least 1 month, food and eating out use to be like so so cheap. This broke my heart for the Syrians
As a Christian Syrian who still lives in Damascus till this moment I would like to say thank you for visiting and you will always be welcomed. Just wanted to correct a little thing the cheese you ate is not the Syrian Pizza , we have normal Pizza like all other countries , what you ate is a different thing and it could be cheese or something else on top.
