Nice to see Simon spending quality time with his dad
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
😂😂😂
This comment is golden😂😂😂
😂😭
It warms our hearts, right?
Simon, as a syrian who’s been a fan of yours for a while, thank you for showing this side of Syria which reflects the kindness of the people in it. Hope you had a good time :)
يا سلام صارو الصهاينة يعملو زيارات و بعدها بكملو لما بعد القنيطرة
Did you see him there? Lol
If the people are so nice there why do you all try to come to US or Canada?
@@Jugglenaught1980 you know nothing mate, he is talking about the civilians Syrian not the Army and regime's Gangsters
I’m from London and this part of Syria looks cleaner and prettier than the borough I live in
It's insane to see the transformation of Simon Wilson videos from sneaking into events in the USA, backpacking across Australia, to now getting into Syria, going to North Korea, bushbashing in Ethiopia. Love your work mate!
The transformation from his first vlogs!
That’s what happens when you hook up with the best that there is in the game in harald and bald 👌👌
Getting into Syria? You mean booking a flight to Syria. It’s not Guantanamo bay.
Yep, looks like MacDonald's may have helped with the transformation
It's very considerate of Simon to put Bald at ease by dressing like a Gopnik. Probably made Bald think he was in the Soviet block.
😂😂😂
😅😅😅👌👌👌
Haha well said 😂😂

One part of Syria is in soviet,Another part for west
It still surprises me video's can feel so different. After watching Bald's earlier and Yours now, it almost feels like your not in the same place for the majority of the trip. Its not just this one, other collaborations in the past all over the world with different creators often gives the total opposite view and feel.
It just proves the point, no matter where you are and what is happening around you, the person next to you is not having the same experience as you despite what you imagine.
excellent comment and very true
Good point. I think it's their styles like Harold's are usually longer raw footage. Bald is similar and slower paced. Simon's are fast cut and fit more in. All are good in their own ways
Spot on!
Yeah, Simons is more real and shows the realties better. Bald's seemed edited a lot to cut out criticism of the Syrian government and spent most of it whining about 'western media' like usual. It was great to see Simon managed to show the different sides and views like how the people in Lebanon at the hotel quite clearly did not like the Syrian govt with talking about how 'too many' people go there.
beautifully put! @Claire Richards
i'm more then glad to see peace in syria,lots of love from Pakistan to syrian brothers and sisters.
I went to Syria 24 times between 1998 and 2010. Cycled through the country singlehandedly as well. Absolutely a fantastic country that I consider the most hospitable of the +80 countries I have been to so far.

This video is cheap marketing and a dirty propaganda claiming that Syria is fine. Syria is wounded, and it weeps for its two million sons killed by the criminal Syrian regime with explosive barrels. It weeps for the nine million displaced by the regime and for the seven hundred thousand turned into disabled individuals. Simon went to areas controlled by the regime and set up his checkpoints every 100 meters on the roads, yet he did not show them. This is filth beyond filth and a complete lack of humanity
"I never in my life did I think I'd be going to Syria"
considering this is coming from a man who's been to Sinaloa, North Korea, and Transnistria...I think you and I both knew you'd be going to Syria eventually. You go to more off the beaten path destinations and that's a great thing because unlike many you're giving these places a chance
As a Brit living in mexico, imagine comparing Sinaloa to North Korea 😂😂😂😂😂. Few chavs with girls selling weed isn’t the same level as anything else you’ve compared it to
he should go to central african republic or kongo. THAT are dangerous countries. the ones you listed are safe for foreigners and more "adventorous". means, you risk nothing going there.
@@lidijalincender461 very true
whats gonna happen if you go to north korea and dont do crazy shit? thousands of people are doing that
Nothing dangerous about going to Transnistria
What a nothing comment. Avery with the word vomit strikes again! Stick to your obscure 10 second meme videos, mate.
Never been to Syria, but I am blessed to have met Syrians here in the West. Amazing people! The friendliest, most hospitable bunch you'll meet.

Welcome to Syria❤❤
Hope you guys enjoy and visit Lattakia with its beautiful beach and people❤
Thanks for coming and showing the world the real Syria❤
latakia is always in my heart
If he goes to lattakia, you should make him film good scenes😅
I think in Damascus he did not get the good pictures.

Simon and Bald. Two Legends
Agree 💯
Who you think had the idea go to Syria was it Simon or Bald???
@@babavoz91679 Definitely Bald!
You forgot Harald
@@michaeljulesvaliente8009 speaking of Harald where is he?
@@darthtrolleus1947 he got kidnapped and are held by an extremist militia group while in syria, makes sense as to why he isn’t showed in the video
Love to see the different style in video footage and vlogging between Simon and Bald. Like watching two different trips.
Was just thinking that :)

As a half Syrian, British born man it's so refreshing to finally see some positivity coming out of Syria for a change. I'm very glad that despite the previous conflict the Syrian people haven't lost their hospitality, warmth and generosity. Hopefully your video inspires many more people to explore the beautiful and historic country, so that they too can change their outlook.
Why do you care so much what the West think?
@@ahmedd320 My point is that I would like the narrative of Syria moving forward to be positive.
So glad to see you guys go to Syria. Went there way back in 1992 for 2 weeks...was my favorite country in the Middle East and I have seen almost all of them. Some of the best people, and at the time felt safer than any other country nearby. Had the best shawarma in the souk of Aleppo. So great to see it again here, and even happier that it is bouncing back it seems. Enjoy!
Syria is the best country in the middle east?? Are you kidding?? What about beautiful Israel and gorgeous Lebanon???? You can compare Syria to Yemen.

Happy Days Mate!!! Best content ever and Simon always keeps us on our toes. Eager to see the next episode. Cheers!!!
That was fun. In 2009, I was touring around Europe with my family in a car. We went to Turkey, and then decided to keep going through Syria. The border was a little difficult, took us 2 days to pass through, but the people at the border were very friendly, they all wanted to drink tea with us. Once in Syria, it was very much the same, we were a little cautious (healthily so perhaps), but again, the people there welcomed us.
That was loooong time ago:))))
@@maligjokica Yeah, a different world really.

Damascus the capital of Syria is the oldest living city in the world.
Peace, love, kindness and amazing weather
Nice Summer, green spring, lovely Autumn and fantastic Winter
We invite all around the world to visit Syria.
First of all many thanks to you Simon
Syria is not a city.
You mean Damascus, it is indeed ONE of the oldest continuously inhabited places in the world - not THE.
@@FactStorm has modified, thanks dear
@@FactStorm Yeah Aleppo is the oldest continuously inhabited places in the world
@@RamMohammadJosephKaur
No it is Jerricho

Your best video so far!
According to many videos I watched, visiting Damascus or Syria in general is a very good experience. It deserves the money, efforts and time spent especially for educated or religious people who appreciate culture, history and art. People who look for fun can go to other countries.
Are u saying u can't have fun there? 🤣🤣🤣 Ludacris! I can have fun anywhere, even alone bro, it's not the place... it's the people my friend
@@youtubebram4393
I meant that Damascus has more cultural, historical, religious sites than fun places.
For fun an American can go to Los Angeles but for visiting the church where Saint Paul was baptized, the shrine that has Saint John's head, the remains of Jupiter temple and the Umayyad Mosque this American needs to visit Damascus. And as a bonus the same American will visit one of the oldest cities on earth, enjoys very delicious food, enjoys very beautiful hotels with an Arabic style and enjoys the low prices of goods and services.
And when you are in Damascus-Syria you can visit almost 3000 historical sites. Syria was the cradle of our civilization.
Have you heard this saying:
“Every person has two homelands, his own and Syria.”
It was said by Andre parrot

. A French archaeologist specializing in the ancient Near East. He led excavations in Lebanon, Iraq and Syria, and is best known for his work at Mari, Syria, where he led important excavations from 1933 to 1975.
There are military personal everywhere on the streets, Why ?? warcrimes have been committed by the Syrian government for the last 10 years, please read the last news on Syria reported on thegardian
@@dislikeIdiots
First, the political regime of Syria needs badly to restore tourism to its level that was before the crisis and therefore it will protect tourists very well.
Second, few thousands tourists who visit Syria a year will not help the political regime of Syria but they will help the people of Syria. They will make them have some hope. Tourists will also inject little amounts of extra cash in the markets creating few hundred jobs for some needy Syrian people.
I am sure that tourism is Syria will never get back to its magnitude that was before the crisis until a serious political change is made in Syria.
I am BUSTING to visit Damascus,
i did not expect Syria to be so nice and clean just goes to show you they are some good people there
You sound so ignorant 🤣
I was in Syria for a year. They are the warmest people in the world. Lovely food, extremely lovely people.
I am a Kurd an I love to see u in Syria and Middle East. Syrian people are really nice I live in Aleppo till I was 8 years old and I miss it
"What's your name?"
Simon : SÍMÓN
What a great country. Would love to visit in the future.
😂 he actually pronounces it good. That's how they say it over there
Syria seems like an amazing country. Syrians are very friendly. I wish that you showed us St Paul's church (the road to Damascus), Omayad mosque with St John's tomb inside it.. Apparently Damascus is the oldest living city in the world.
Good to watch syria 🇸🇾 normal life people. Loved it. Thanks for making us tour Syria 🇸🇾 online along with you
Your content literally makes me smile ear to ear.
I've always wanted to go to Damascus, hopefully when all settles.
Just watched the video, looks like it has settled!
Welcome
Syria has always been a great friend to us since the 1960s. We've helped build a nuclear reactor for them but it was unfortunately destroyed by an Israeli airstrike in 2007
Lol
The great leader
JUCHE FOREVER
Thank you guys for being a friendly nation towards us , I (unironically) want to visit North Korea one day , I have seen videos of people going there and it looks nice and safe (As long as you don't do dumb sh*t !).
well I'm sure Otto Wambier would agree is North Korea hasn't had killed him for doing absolutely nothing. Use your head
That guy that said "be careful" directly after the Footy game was so sincere. Syrains seem so inviting and genuine
I must admit in my experience I have experienced kindness from Syrians
Rami what a LEGEND. Don’t think I heard a “cheers, thank you” once from Simon. Great video.
What an amazing video! Can't wait to see more from Syria! The people seem very genuine. I love how clean it is.
Would love to see you guys visit Iran and give us your honest assessment of that country and its people.
You’re joking, right?
@@Burl900 Iran is safer than Syria. Are you the one that’s joking?
Hard to say that but syrian people is so nice even syria is more beautiful than my country iraq
Hope it will be back again
absolutely loved the bit with the lads at the end on the bus going back to latakia, just brilliant!!!
m8 I wouldn't even dare go to Syria, and this is why I'm watching haha XD
Why?
Damascus is safe at least
ive been there many times bcs i live near its a cool place in lattakia

Peace to Syria! From an American/Korean.
Awesome!

Honestly, the best way to experience local culture is by attending a football game! This video completely changed my perspective on Damascus and Syria.
Watch balds video its much better
Thanks for coming guys .. I hope you enjoy ❤
This is the real Syria
please come to Lattakia 🤩
😂😂😂😂😂 سوريا جيش الحرامية 😏😏😏😏 ما بكفي تشبيح
You are learning what many of us Americans who have lived in Syria for many years already know: the generosity, patience, and magnanimity of the Syrian people and other Arabs of the region is incomparable. Your reporting is years too late, as this isn't just another worn torn country to be dissected. The Syrian people have suffered and have been enormously traumatized over the last 15 years due to the United States' abusive hegemony and twisted foreign policy in the region. Syria is not just another playground for curious westerners like a trip to Disney World: it's a country rich in history, culture, architecture, music that deserves deep respect and intention.
😔
Where is Harald? Did he freeze in Nepal? We need the trio back together!
I like Alenka the best.

What a great video Simon, nice to see Bald with you on this adventure. Rami seems like a great guy!!
YAY Simon’s back!
I’m full Syrian by blood and I visit there every year. It’s actually a beautiful country and it’s not nearly as bad as people make it out to be.

Great video, Simon. Looks like you've got a great guide. Rami's smile and laugh are beautiful. What an amazing place with such friendly people! You and Bald are absolute legends! Keep up the great work! 😊👍🏻
As a kid, I went in a taxi from Beirut to Damascus. The most memorable bit was going through the cedar forests in the mountains outside Beirut. Have they all gone now? Or did you forget to film them?
I really love your vlogs have done for ages. And this was another level, purely because like you said it wasn't what I was expecting. It just goes to show there are good people everywhere. I am looking forward to the next one.
12:40 I was thinking that the other day about my hometown, London. Our city has so many tress from Zone 1 to the outer rim of the M25 it’s considered an “Urban Forest”. Lots of UK cities are also full of trees as well, no. I used to live in Edinburgh for a few years it’s less green but still can be quite green. Anyway, yeah - city trees are awesome!
Yes I agree, so different from what I thought it would look like. Lovely people
Glad Bald invited you along with him! His video was incredible and I'm sure yours will be good as well.
So Bald invited Simon to go to Syria??? I didn't know that
"i'm going to have to be discreet with this camera" Me: have you seen the size of your camera lol
right surely a digital camera would do but that’s Simon I guess

Been looking forward to this one since watching Bald’s video! Surprised they weren’t joined by Harald!

Agree
As a Lebanese guy I would be sketched out trusting anyone to set all this up especially someone that i dont know lmao low key I'm surprised yall didn't get scammed or kidnapped, but this was a beautiful video and so is bald and bankrupts. Syria is a beautiful country and hopefully it will be better. But SIMON, Lebanon is a must visit and you should definitely film a series there!
I had the pleasure of visiting Syria in 2008 with my family and friends. Coming from New Zealand it was a dramatic difference, but I will never forget how beautiful the cities of Damascus and Aleppo were. I count myself incredibly lucky to have seen the beauty of this country and other surrounding nations in the middle east. Most people react with Why would you go there... I tell them about my experience and show photos.. They are amazed they I had that opportunity. The middle east is such a beautiful part of the world. Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, Syria... such beauty and yet the worlds media will portray the dark side and turn people away from ever wanting to visit.
Palestine *
I do find it strange that the streets are so clean. I would expect trash and crap everywhere just like mexico. Thats awesome the people take some pride in what they have to work with.
Syrians are generally obsessed with cleanliness
That is a very strange image you have in mind! Thank God for travel vlogs as they show the real face that is usually buried under stereotypes.
Finnaly a new video!
This was the coolest thing I've ever seen. Thank you for sharing this.
Simon and Ben: We're going to Syria. Johnny and Dan: hold my beer, we're going to Kyiv
So, Bald makes it look hassle free, Simon Wilson shows the hardcore reality of jumping into a strangers car in Beirut 😂
Absolutely exceptional video with great diction !!!!Please ask for more practice tips‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Cheers Simon!!! An absolute legend of travel vloggers and the inspiration to launch Drew's Travels, documenting life in Southern Leyte, Philippines 😁
Not what I was expecting. Great video. The news doesnt ever paint syria in a good light Thank you for showing us the good sides to these places.
Hi Simon, I liked the video a lot, but I advise you to visit Latakia. As a Syrian, I do not like coming to Damascus more than spending time in Latakia. It is a very interesting city. Cafes, restaurants, mountain areas and the sea. Everything is beautiful in Latakia. The city of Latakia is one story and its countryside is another story. Also, its residents are more open. I hope that See you in Latakia❤️
Great video. 👍
It’s so nice to see keemstar taking you to Damascus! Glad he’s took the hat off tho!
thank you simon for continuously breaking stereotypes... much love
Another top tier video mate.
Your mate who owns the Juniper cafes is putting out some fantastic food - love the spot in Bramhall

Be waiting for this ledgend too return with another classic! Big up Simon !
What a friendly place......Love it!
Simon and bald back together I love it!!! Only thing where is the Viking, harald?
A big heart from Syria 🇸🇾
Lebanon and Syria have the top 3 or top 4 oldest cities in the world between them, and are only getting less civilised year by year, both countries have a very huge potential to be top 10 tourism countries. Very unfortunate for me as a Lebanese living in the uk
Exactly imo we can easily compete the world with our cuisine too... sad what's happening to both our countries 😢
