    Gay Life in Syria

    Damascus (Dimashq)

    Damascus is believed to be the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world. It’s a beautiful city, with a lot to see. Personally, I keep wonder when did the first gay sexual experience take place in Damascus, & where.
     
    Places to HUNT:
    You could almost pick up guys everywhere; you just need to have a good gaydar. Anyway, here is a list of the most popular places in Damascus:

    Qassa’a Street
    In front of Cham Palace Hotel
    Places to have FUN:
    There are four hammams in Damascus where you could play safely, but please always be careful.

    Lattakia:

    The beach would be a nice place to start. You could always check in Safwan Hotel, the most famous gay friendly hotel in the region.

    Always remember; Parks are good to start your cruising experience in Syria, wherever you are; in any city. 30 minutes before sunset is always a good time to start cruising
