I have read all your comments, so thank you for them. I did not intend to even include the part about the photos in my vlog, but because the men decided to chase me and try to steal my camera, I had to share it. I realize that these men do not reflect the Syrian people, and I also respect that there was a miscommunication regarding the initial price. However, none of that justifies them chasing me. <br><br>Thanks for all your feedback! It's always appreciated.

Just for clarification the camera man didn’t scam u dear he said 1 dollar (15000) per photo and u agreed on that and u said that’s cheap ! Then after that he asked u to select what u liked so he can calculate how much to charge u.. u left it up to him so he chose to charge u for all 25 ! But that doesn’t mean u need to pay for all! At least u could have selected one or two and pay 1 usd or 2 and call it a day! They probably got upset bcs he spent time for taking 25 photos of u and u left them without at least paying for one! <br><br>100% misunderstanding and I agree they shouldn’t have touch u or anything!

You didn’t get scammed, you wasted their time; they asked you how many photos you wanted and charged you 15k per photo. There have been miscommunication on both sides. You should consider putting the effort by bringing a translator along with you.<br><br>Edit: <br><br>1- They didn’t force him to buy the 25 photos he could’ve bought a photo or 2; they asked him to choose and because of the misccommunication that happenes between them they thought that he meant all of it. <br><br>2- are you guys seriously considering a dollar per picture overpriced? Have you seen how much they charge for a photo in Times Square? <br><br>3- taking 25 photos and not paying a penny imagine how long it took them to do this photoshoot how do you expect them to behave after all that work and this dude just decides to leave.

I'm Syrian expatriate originally from Damascus, and I generally avoid the areas you visited today. Unfortunately, those places have a high rate of theft and scams, and the people there can be quite uncivilized. You may be trying to save money by not hiring a tour guide or translator, but in doing so, you're missing out on many great tourist spots and exposing yourself to unpleasant situations.

Hey, you should totally check out Homs! It's like, two hours from Damascus. I hope you spend more time in Syria, every city is amazing. Syria, in general, is full of history and surprises you won't find anywhere else.
