The one number a country page can't give you

What people who actually live in Damascus report

Numbeo aggregates thousands of resident-submitted perception surveys into a per-city Crime Index (higher = worse) and its inverse, a Safety Index — the only real city-granularity crime signal feeding this page, alongside Syria's national advisory, political, health, and police-trust data.

Same real inputs as Syria's national page, with crime swapped for Damascus's own Numbeo number above.

Local know-how

Staying safe in Damascus, specifically

• • See the Syria article for information on the security situation.
• • In rural and modern areas of Damascus, people have been known to be perfectly healthy, but to imitate beggars in order to get money.
• • Also, for your safety, do not take advice or recommendations, especially about accommodation, doctors and dentists, from taxi drivers.
• • Damascus itself has not been an active war zone for several years now. Nonetheless, the political by-products of the war continue to negatively impact travellers.
• • Travelling with a guide at all times is strongly recommended, if only to make such interactions less stressful.

The little things that trip people up

How this compares to Syria

Numbeo's Safety Index puts Damascus at 31/100 for crime — that makes it read safer than Syria's national picture overall (22/100 vs 20/100).
