Driving in Damascus: A Local's Guide to Safety and Traffic

Driving in Damascus is an experience in itself. As the oldest continuously inhabited city, its streets are a mix of history and modern hustle.

Local Customs

Syrian drivers are generally helpful. If you're lost, don't hesitate to ask. However, keep an eye on motorcycles, especially in the old city areas.

Checkpoints and Documents

Always carry your original ID/Passport and valid driving license. At Auris, we ensure all our vehicles have up-to-date registration and insurance documents in the glove box.
