Respect the Syrian religion

People have a strong sense of personal integrity, which inspires amazing compassion in Syrians. Being helpful, hospitable, and charitable to others provides pride and status. Syrians' friendliness is immediately obvious in this regard. Syrians are ethnically and religiously varied; Muslim Arabs constitute the large majority of the population; on the basis of religion, the following communities can be identified: 68.7 percent are Sunni Muslims, 16 percent are Druze, Shiei, Alawi, and Ismaili, and 14.1 percent are one of more than 11 Christian denominations.

Despite their pluralism and tolerance, Syrians are deeply religious and adhere to Islamic principles. Short clothing is not encouraged for tourists, and this is not only for ladies. You can visit religious sites as a non-believer. Nonetheless, basic Muslim beliefs must be followed: shoes must be removed at the mosque entrance, and women must wear a headscarf. If you're in Syria during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, avoid eating and drinking in public locations and avoid throwing loud gatherings. It's worth noting that 99 percent of restaurants and catering establishments are closed from sunrise to sunset, so stock up on food if you're in Syria during Ramadan but won't be fasting.
