 Kelly Hu so sexy don't be
like her! by dr.firas
As people there will look at you rudely and you’ll feel yourself as if you’re from another planet…and you don’t need that!!!
But there’s no problem to ware whatever you want when you’re going with your boyfriend or Husband...
But you can’t avoid the rude looks in that case neither.
In the modern City part you can make yourself at home , and ware anything you wish. Leave a Comment

Two things you can do - ask at your hotel for a card with their address, most places will have one or they will write it down for you and similarly, when you are heading out from your hotel, as well as asking them to write the address of the place you are going, ask how the words are pronounced. It really is important to get those sounds right - say "Sissi "Street and you won't be understood, but say "Zeezee" and you should have no problem.
Simple really, but when it's late at night and three taxidrivers in a row have have looked at you in total puzzlement, you'll wish you had that little bit of paper with you. Leave a Comment

I met many solo female travellers and none of them reported any special hassle as well.
Syrian people are always well educated and very kind with the foreigners. Leave a Comment

Well, no danger whatsoever but the communication could be a problem sometimes.
Not everybody could speak English & it pays to learn a few basic Arabic words.
When you ask for a place, please let a pen & a paper handy; Ask the locals to write them down in Arabic so that you can show what's written on that piece of paper instead of saying the wrong pronunciations ! Leave a Comment

My experience...
Don't talk anything religious or politic with anybody in Aleppo !
If they ask about your country, maybe you should lie about it ?
I had a good laugh when I met a German girl who was studying Arabic language in Jordan & she had travelled around The Middle East extensively.
She had a piercing just under her lips; I asked her whether the people around The Middle East asked her some questions about it.
She said, "Yes, of course !"
I asked her what was her reply ?
She said, "Oh ! Everybody in my country has a piercing under their lips !"
We had a good laugh ! Leave a Comment

This happens too often to me when walking around in The Souqs !
Even if you want to just look, the shopkeepers will ask you to buy the things that you look at !
Make sure to say, "La !"...As usual when visiting The Middle East anyway.
Some shopkeepers took the things that I was looking at, put them in a plastic bag & tossed it me & said the price !
We would feel guilty if we don't buy it, maybe that's what they thought ?
They will start saying that they didn't have any business for that day or the children hadn't eaten anything for the day etc etc.
Yes, of course I felt sorry for them, of course I would love to help but money was as tight for me !
Would they thought of that ? Leave a Comment

There's a man in Aleppo runs trips,hires cars and I've recieved many complaints about his bad dealings with people.He's mean and cheater and I'll advice everybody not to deal with that man .here are his details:
EBLA TRANSPORTATION BY MOHAMMED ALI
ALEPPO
MOBILE: 00963 94 405217
His bad sevice includes charging extra money than the agreement,bringing 11 seats minivan while you spoke about 14 seats,fake rates on exchanging...so don't be another victim of this man.I don't like the idea of mentioning names but this time I find my self forced to do accodring to the number of complaints about that man.
