“I have always heard about Aleppo city in the news with all the conflicts that are going on there… Although a large proportion of the city had been destroyed, you still can feel the authenticity and originality when wandering the old city routes and lanes. I told the tour organizers that I wanted a two days visit to Aleppo and they were very flexible and helpful in changing the itinerary. I also had the chance to interact with many locals and loved their reactions when they realized I was a foreigner because obviously, I have long red hair. and some of them would give us the items we wanted without asking for payment. Very gorgeous and kind people there.”
