Crazy Streets of Aleppo

[goishak]

Those are gypsy kids who come from India to beg.

[MegaMalek1997]

my frum in syria aleepo :) you ken my you faecbook :)

[zura1977]

I lived there for couple of years as a child and have the fondest memory of the city and it's people. if anybody knows the place where there are two 12 floor buildings standing side by side with a gated wall around both( I remember they wore the tallest building around. And wore used as a residence for soviet era engineers from Russia around 1985-86} Please let me know how to find it on the map. Hope to visit Aleppo some day again.

[fdama]

I didnt know Syria was so poor.

[nafisusm]

@foufoufireprince i guess becose damascus is such a big city and it modernised.while halab is still umharm, and i woud choose halab as well :)

[WinkyMaeve]

@tantawi1992 yes, tantawi is a traditional canadian name and all..

very funny, self hating Arab be proud of who you are not who u want to be

[Abdulhamid84]

But it's really amazing, thank you for that effort

[Abdulhamid84]

But it's really amazing, thank you for that huge effort

[Abdulhamid84]

you asked about dresses,and about women that wear black dresses

in aleppo and all muslem countries they considers that women shouldn't show their body and their accessories to men (except husband) and they can wear bashful wears infront of their family (brothers uncles...)

and that is to maintain the community from moral turpitude.

[herofly1]

unfortunatley most of arab countries looks like aleppo , not orgnized, not only the traffic, but the type of the life is unorgnized.... even syria has very deep civilisation.

[garnakis]

Then the kids told you 100 for the shoe shine they meant in syrian money. Which would mean 2 dollars probably

[abdohidaya]

well ur vidoe is realy good .. but u just recorderd the old side from the city ... there is too too much from aleppo u didnt see ..

[Caracalla23]

@abdohidaya But the old side of any city is what tourists want to see abdo. I live in a 2000 year old city (young compared to yours) and tourists come to see the old sites of my hometown.

[a991pistachio]

i like it i like aleppo

[sucsmade]

The womans wear black dresses on the streets. The other dresses from the shops, they wear them at home, at parties, weddings, celebrations, just for fun with friends. I know it, i come from Syria :-D

[annubes]

You don't know the castle of Aleppo!!

[dscnada]

verry nice job thank you

[gubiharb]

oooo i want go there

[tonyosman555]

nice video i was there more than 100 times i love that city u shouldve went to the new aleppo

[syriandruze]

I love crossing streets in Syria, Cars honking awesome.

You went to an area were usually Muslims live and its kinda a poor area as well.

You should go to areas like Basra, Kessab

[cybermike2000]

Thank you for your presentation. These clothes are bought mostly by tourists and Christians in Syria. Next time maybe you can go to Christian villages with small towns. There is much to see!

[ChokoJazz]

:D Oh i feel like i m there when i watch this vid. :)

[masakinhanano]

I've been to Syria trice, myself and I could say that despite the country's condition, Syria is still one of the most peaceful countries in the world. Almost zero crime. I stayed not in the hotel but with the Syrian family... was able to know and mingle with their neighbors. Syrian culture (and their family orientation) is absolutely amazing. Thanks for sharing this vid.

[ThomasMongol]

you go to aleppo and you don't know anything about the citadel?? how on earth is that possible

[radi357]

nice video tersa.

[dale3858]

Wow, what an incredible place, very friendly people. That's nice.

[Makeupismylove101xx]

[Mizsusu100]

[giancarlit0]

[Abohafs]

Mrs. Teresa haha beautifull video i have to give it to you, i'm from damascus syria never been to Aleppo, and i busted out laughing when i heard your comments on those little cars haha some people call them trezeeenazz, and most women wear these dresses during weddings and things like that, nice video though

[we27162]

@Teresathetraveler I'm from Aleppo, Syria and this video brings back ALOT of memories :P Problem is hardly any internet in there -.- that's why they didn't know what you're talking about when you asked "Do you watch youtube?"

[Makeupismylove101xx]

@we27162 yes i agree im from aleppo aswell!

[1ahmadrockets1]

Shit Aleppo is ghetto :P

[AzarAzer]

CANIM HALEPIM!!!!!!!!!!!!

[abodah91]

love syria

[abodah91]

the country in the world .. proud to be SYRIAN .... ;)

[vrej777]

100 is to much 25 pound max ...

[Avileten]

I'm from Turkey. I visited syria yesterday. streets not any clean. as for me civilization isnt only technology. syrian people are very benevolent and nice. should visit... There is interesting country and very cheap

[1ahmadrockets1]

And all Syrians love Turkey.

[impmsmimpmsm]

Hi Teresa... welcome to my city Aleppo.

Most of Muslims women wear those nice clothes in the houses.

Her husband, father, brother, can see her in normal clothes without Hijab,

[Brythonn]

The Mongols famously attacked that citadel, back in the 1200s. It really brings it home just how old it is, and its history extends far far back than that point in history. It's quite an amazing place. Erbil in Iraqi Kurdistan has one very similar, which is also many 1000s of years old. Mind boggling. :D

[fatima1quadaffi]

im glad you had a great time in aleppo! me and my husband are moving back there next year and you are welcome in aleppo anytime :)

[shahe75]

OMG am from Aleppo, but living in Kuwait now. I rarely go the places where you went, in other words you went to the most crowded and the most crazy area in Aleppo : ) but its very nice to see these things before seeing the other cool places in Aleppo : )

[danaden88]

OMG all those places u have visited ive been there..im originally from australia, but i lived in syria for 4 years and studied arabic there coz my mum is from syria...i loved syria especially the ways in which guys flirt with girls...its awesome

cant wait to go back:D:D:D:D

thanks for posting your video...next time i go there ill do the same:P:P

[Teresathetraveler]

Yes , I do call myself a traveler because I travel. I have never claimed to be an expert on the customs and history of Syria or any other country.

[fatima1quadaffi]

she didnt say shisha and ive baught shisha in aleppo when i went to marry my husband. she said these kids are selling shoe shine you dont have to be an asshole to her

[aymanekadour]

Thank you for posting this, I'm originally from Aleppo... Miss the old days :(

[pixuria]

Oh, by the way, Halab is "Aleppo" in Arabic.

[pixuria]

I'm glad you enjoyed yourself in Aleppo! I'm originally from both Damascus and Hama, but Aleppo is a wonderful place to explore with a rich history. I believe the stuff you saw on the street was wool; did it smell strangely? Also, about the dresses and trendy clothing: most girls wear tracksuits in the home, especially in Damascus. During weddings and engagement parties, women don the elaborate dresses because these events are typically separated by gender. I hope you had a great time.

[icewave667]

your commentary is great thanks : )

[kiddkobe]

this is cool i was born in syria and proud...

[torrent1337]

Thank you very much for posting you video. I am 19 an I am thinking of countries I would like to visit in the future, and Syria is now definitely on my list!

[IamFreeRu]

Looks like you met some beggars at 2:10. lol. They take advantage of tourists. You should have just yelled at them.

[layni213]

love your videos

[availableusername86]

Your video is interesting and kind of amusing.

[Teresathetraveler]

what is Halab and why was it important to you?

[GALLENTINO2]

halab is aleppo in arabic looks like you just visited the old parts and the business part of the city im sure if u went much further out where people lived u wouldve loved by the way if u noticed one of the most amazing things about halab is that all its buildings are made of aleppo rocks from mountains u dont find this anywhere else in syria or the middle east

[we27162]

@Teresathetraveler Halab is Aleppo but the name of Aleppo in Arabic is Halab ;)

[marc2456]

@Teresathetraveler One of the oldest cities in the world? What is education to you?

[HannaHammer]

I have been to Aleppo myself and I liked a lot. So friendly people there. As a norwegian it was like a farytale came true when I finally could see Halab.

[Boojaffar]

did u go to damascus??

[Teresathetraveler]

Yes I did, I posted a Damascus video as well

[maherayoubi]

Hi Teresa :)

i liked the way you maked your Videos of Aleppo :) , i'm from Aleppo , and I was very pleased that you were there in Aleppo.

[shogunly]

the kids relieved you of most of your money ? you must not have had a lot to begin with hehehe ( how much is a hundred lira , fifty cents ?)

anyway i love your videos and i suscribed so keep them coming .

[Teresathetraveler]

Thanks, I am glad you enjoyed it, I found the craziness quite entertaining. Never a dull moment in that place...lol!

[rumbato]

about where are they wearing those dresses, well duh, common sense. Parties, weddings , in their homes, invitations, bedrooms *wink* etc etc.

[abu7alab]

HI Teresa,

I liked your Video about my city. I visit there almost every summer and I never thought about taking some video clips about it.

[Teresathetraveler]

You are right, unfortunately I did not get a chance to see the modern part but I did see the modern part of Damascus and can see that Syria is becoming quite modernized.

[Arabianmale]

Hi Therese,

Thanx for posting this, it is Hilarious asI come from Aleppo and this could remind me of the old town ambiance. But there is another side of the city which you might did not see as well (the modern part). Hope you enjoyed it.!!
