I went to the Middle East on July 06, being a journalist I flew to Lebanon to cover the war (at that time) and at the end of august I drove to Damascus Syria. Being an American I had the worst time trying to get a visa (from the border crossing).After I got through I went to down-town Damascus. It was my 1st trip there and not knowing where the better hotels were. I ended up in a sleazy hotel that turned out to be a brothel. I tried to leave but I was forced into paying 2000sp just to get out.

I talked to a police ass-whole, who was down the street, and I ended up having to pay the son-of-bitch another 500lp just to leave me alone. The worst place to travel to believe me do-not head there the entire country and people are thieves and thugs. It is very unsafe!

The following interesting and thought provoking info comes from a source current as of early January, 2005. As the war in Iraq continues, a different kind of “war” has been going on for months now in neighboring Syria – one that has its roots, among others, in the aftermath of Saddam’s ouster.

In the past few months, a mini “world war” has been taking place between prostitutes in Syria: the many immigrants from Iraq have simply “stolen” the jobs of the local girls. However, the Syrian whores have decided not to surrender and have engaged in war by spreading rumors, claiming, “The immigrants are all sick with AIDS”. In recent months, the whores working in Damascus have complained about the “aggressive conquering” of their clientele by foreign workers. The market of whores, as well as other markets, has suffered due to the wave of immigration from neighboring Iraq. A Syrian intellectual has said that the number of whores in Damascus stands at 30,000, however a source in the Iraqi consulate in the city said this estimate was an exaggeration. In any case, it is clear the Iraqi whores have flooded the neighboring country following the fall of Saddam’s regime – either out of fear for their lives due to killings by local religious groups or out of a keen desire to find new clients.

In this situation, in which the Syrian prostitute market has been flooded by whores from Iraq, Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia and more, the local girls found themselves entangled in quite a problem; their business was at stake. They decided to take revenge in a unique manner by spreading rumors in the Syrian capital saying the Iraqi women had AIDS… The current rumor circulating Damascus is that several policemen have contracted AIDS from Iraqi whores. According to most recent rumors, the Syrian regime has been so concerned over this phenomenon that it decided to enact a law in which every Iraqi convicted of dealing with prostitution will be jailed and consequently deported from Syria. It seems that in one of the areas in which this business flourishes, a systematic system has been developed. Syrian or Iraqi pimps “marry” up to four whores (either from Syria, Iraq or Tunisia). In exchange for 10,000 dollars a year, the whores commit themselves to serve any client, anytime. In exchange, the pimp promises her that if she is arrested, he will release her after identifying himself to the police as her “husband”. The Iraqi whores work in a few centers, according to reports. In the A-Thal neighborhood of Damascus, for example, one can find night clubs in which Iraqi and Syrian women perform sensual dances.

According to the reports, one can even spot women in their 50s sitting by the stage smoking nargilas. Perhaps these are the mothers of the dancers that came to watch after their daughters or perhaps to mediate between their girls and the eager clients…

Last week I visited Damascus. I was walking nearby Marthys Square where the famous Turkish monument is. I was looking around when a guy on the street asked me something in Arabic that I did not understand. After that he started to say madame madame. Then I understood of course.

He said it would cost 2000 Syrian pound for 1 hour. I  agreed and took a taxi to a place a bit outside of Damascus. I paid around 1 USD for the taxi.

It was a very old house and they showed me 5 Syrian ladies. I took one of them and had sex for a short whilee. No blow job or any other attractions. Only fucking. It was not so good but it was nice to find something in Damascus.

Anyway, once you got an apartment, he will provide you a maid ( female ), who is responsible to bring you a bunch of pussies. You have to tell her exactly how the girl look like and she will bring it for you, but again she will also ask for some, and I would advise you to give her 500 lira per day so she can be helpful and at least you can enjoy your stay in this fucking country.

I was there and she brought a girl for me, actually one guy came to my apartment and he offered me his wife. He was invited by the maid. His wife was fucking gorgeous. I gave 3000 lira to the person and he left. I fucked his wife, her pussy was very tight ( maybe artificially ). I tried to lick her pussy, but it was smelling like she hasn't washed it for quite some time, then she gave me a kiss and her mouth was also smelling like shit.

I can tell you if you are a small built person, sometimes maid can call some thieves to come to your apartment and take your money and beat the shit out of you. Since I am a big motherfucker, Syrians were scared to fuck with me.
