Syria
Syria is a destination for short trips to Damascus, Aleppo and the coast rather than a place to relocate. Local prices are low, but supplies, fuel and electricity are unstable and everything is paid in cash. The coast has a Mediterranean climate, the interior dry heat, and winters are mild and rainy. Entry requires a visa and usually a local escort, movement is limited, and healthcare and connectivity work unevenly.
