Visiting Syria & Palestine

[LordJames]

Historic and blessed land with lots of upheavals and likely to play an important role in end times according to Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

Has anyone visited and what are your thoughts?

Been to both...

Never been to either country.

I would love to visit Al-Aqsa mosque but not sure if I will face any harassment from IDF.

Everybody gets harassed and you have to be mentally ready to answer a 1000 questions and be interrogated.

Israelees question everybody and relentlessly but they also need Tourist dollars for their economy so they go out of their way to try to be nice to "Tourists"

People are still visiting Masjid Al-Aqsa even now. Gaza and West Bank are pretty far away from Al-Quds.

Palestinians are banned from visiting Masjid Al-Aqsa but Tourists are allowed. Israeless split Palestinian nationals into:

1. 1949
2. 1967
3. Later

3rd category of Palestinians are not allowed to visit Masjid Al-Aqsa except for last week of Ramadhan and even that gets closed down.

I would love be to go to both . Syria is a possibility in the next few years.

Palestine means travelling on a plane with mostly Israelis and integrated and demeaned at the airport. I know people still go , unfortunately I would lose control

It’s still subject to interrogation.

Who knows maybe I’ll walk into Jerusalem one day when it’s liberated

I would like nothing more. But they’re at the top of the most dangerous places in the world right now so I won’t be taking chances right now especially being a Hindu given all our online people across like stupid in support of Israel causing unnecessary animosity with middle eastern Islamists.

Been to Tehran, Jerusalem, Amman, Petra, Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Ras al Khemah, Dammam, Riyadh, Jeddah, Hail, Tabuk, Salalah, Muscat, Doha, Bahrain etc in the Middle East and I have absolutely loved my travels to that part of the world. It’s truly a different vibe. Sure Europe and all have their own charm but Middle East is great in its own ways.

Easiest is to go through Turkiye, regular bus, rental cars, Taxis available but if you are going to Aleppo. Damascus has direct flights and plenty.
