AS TOURIST IN TARTOUS & ARWAD ISLAND, IN SYRIA 2017
On the west coast of Syria by the Mediterranean sea is the government stronghold city of Tartous/Tartus. The city has mostly been unaffected by fighting in the Syrian war, except for a few suicide bombs carried out here by ISIS. Tartous is where you can see daily life going on like normal far from the frontline.
