I’ve always seen a similarity between Italy and Syria (mainly Rome and Damascus). People, food, weather, buildings, streets, alleys, shops, cafes, … I wish that someday I’d be able to better picture the similarities to make a real comparison. I’m sure those who were able to visit both will feel it too.

Nice pictures… I love Syria and Italy for their great cultural and architectural heritage..
Thank you. Hope things will be fine soon and I’ll invite you to Syria 😉
Thanks a lot.. I really hope Syria will be the attraction to all of us again..
I was really saddened by the news of destruction of Palmyra, but I hope it will be restored quickly enough, at least as far as possible..
Thank you. Yes, we hope so
I hope the misery in parts of Syria will be over soon. It must be a beautiful country.
Thank you, Debra. We pray for that and hope it’d be soon. So, we can invite you all there 😉
I remember Italy reminding me of home in Syria. I always loved the olive trees in Syria.
الشام هي البلد الذي تعيش في قلبي
We all pray things be fine there and we can get back to Syria to see those trees and drink from its water and walk into the beautiful alleys…
