About Syria
Contrary to popular belief in many countries, Syria is extremely safe. Crime is virtually non-existent. The people's hospitality is second to none and if you treat them with respect, whatever country you are from, Syrians will reciprocate. Syria is popular for its historical sites.
Cost of living is substantially lower than the Gulf while infrastructure, which is by no means poor, will not be up to Gulf standards.
