A few months ago I had the privilege of being able to enter and see parts of western Syria. We went to see a few of the country’s major cities and ancient historical sights. Our trip was very emotionally challenging but also beautiful in many ways. Meeting Syrians, hearing their stories and capturing a small part of what the country looks like today was not a simple goal but one I hope you will enjoy joining me on. Sending lots of love to all of the Syrians of the world. Thank you for welcoming me and teaching me about your culture.

Thanks Ghaidaa for the best tour I could have possibly been on. If you want to follow her stories or travel with her, follow her on instagram at www.instagram.com/ghaidaa_the_guide/.

Thank you Touma for helping me capture this trip! He has just released a video about what living in Syria is like, so please go watch it here (   • A Day in My Life in Syria  ) and follow his Instagram www.instagram.com/toumabittar/.

Thanks Fadi for opening so many doors for us to be able to see parts of the country few have been able to for a long time. Check his work out here: www.instagram.com/fadiassigt/

    It is absolutely fucking astonishing to me that youtubers do a better job of telling the stories of the world than the media and government. Well done to Thomas and Yes Theory Team. Thank you for telling this story!
  • “It is really really difficult for me to travel, I chose to be a tour guide so I can host people and the world can come to me” that is a woman making the best of out a terrible situation, beautiful.
  • @salijumba
    "whenever they see a foreigner it shows a symbol of hope" 😢that sank deep ❤
  • @EL67671
    The fact Ghaidaa has done nothing but smile and hope and open her soul so passionately while experiencing so much hardship is phenomenal. Its one of the most bittersweet things ive ever seen, Thank you Ghaidaa. You are truly an inspiration.
  • @JGBR-bv8jo
    The man who asked you to speak the truth, whether it’s good or bad actually made me tear up a bit, he knows the value of his country and how the days are becoming brighter, and wants you to be that person who show cases it. So wholesome
  • @ossymarwah
    Thank you--- as a Syrian living abroad, I needed this. Eye-opening even for myself.
  • @AhmadAboulFarag
    Being an Egyptian with Syrian origins, I cried a lot in this video... I truly wish the best for them. Truly our brothers and sisters from Syria. الله يعوضكم يا أهلنا و أحبابنا.
  • @worldfoxtravel4312
    I am Thai , nothing related to Syria or their couture.. but I cried 3 times from watching this … I wish that girl gets a very bright future… and I love your video… thank you for sharing this to the world… really thank you…
  • "People can talk, animals can't, thats why I always bring Dog food with me" this lady is the kindest person to ever cross part with and I salute you Yes Theory for showing the world her side of story
  • @Michael-ll1yu
    As a teacher in the Netherlands I can't wait to show this video in my social studies class. Watching this gave me goosebumps and I think it's so important for everyone to see this side of a beautiful country with even more beautiful people. And if only one student would get inspired by Ghaiida's kindness like I did then it would be worth it.
  • Ghaidaa is a ray of sunshine even among all the rubble Her desire to be a tour guide to show her side of Syria is just... Beautiful
  • 我看哭了两次,没想到叙利亚人民这么善良,你的描述和反思也很打动人心
  • The tour guide lady is such a beautiful person. Taking cat and dog food with her because they don't have voices for themselves. I wish that all people were like her.
  • @NyxGamingAU
    As a westerner who no longer sees Syria in the news, this video has been a stark realisation that we as westerners have never truly known Syria. And it’s because of this that we have missed out on its utter beauty, and the loving kindness of its peoples.
  • @SB-nl4sn
    I really hope Syria will be free of War Forever these people on your video was so lovely I wish them peace forever
  • @SonicSniper1006
    Wow!! I have never been so moved by a documentary , I can’t believe I’m only seeing this now , I actually cried abit when I saw that random strangers were coming up and praying for you, you would NEVER SEE that in a western country , with all the bullshit propaganda I’ve been fed my whole life I looked at these people differently , and after seeing this they are just like any normal Person!!! and for all what they’ve been through to still find love in their heart for a stranger legit changed me , I am grateful for you and your videos because it just shows how many amazing people in these war torn countrys because of western backings , I feel for the innocent people caught in these attacks and only wish the best for the innocent Palestinian people going through war today.
  • @KaraandNate
    Thank you for making this video ❤ Beautifully done and so moving. Ghaidaa is an angel.
  • I am from Damascus, and I really thank you for showing our country to the world. The media always has a bad picture of Syria. I have not seen my country Syria since 2013 as I had to flee the war, and now I live in Canada. Everyone is welcoming here, and Canadian people made me feel at home again. I will go to Syria one day and contribute to rebuilding it again.
  • @joeycurtis1872
    Ghaidaa is a seer, with so much pain in her heart she's still an angel to the world.
