For Local Guides
Share Your Syria with the World
Are you a Syrian who knows the hidden stories, the family recipes, the neighborhood secrets? Do friends ask you to show them around? Syria Core wants to connect you with travelers seeking authentic experiences.
We're building a platform that empowers local guides to share their expertise, set their own terms, and earn income doing what they love—showing the real Syria to curious travelers.
