No travel to Syria should be attempted. Please see warnings in the Syria article and War zone safety. Aleppo is under the control of the Syrian government, but the front lines are not far away while Idlib province remains under the control of Al-Qaeda and Al-Nusra. The situation could change at any time.
Northwestern Syria is the region around Aleppo, Syria. It contains the Dead Cities and (as of 2023) most of the territory still held by Turkish-backed rebels.
The vast majority of the population in the Afrin Canton District, the northwestern corner of this region, are Kurdish. Kurdish is commonly spoken there, and the culture is much like that of Iraqi Kurdistan.
The people of Aleppo are famed for their love of food and visitors will find a great variety of excellent Syrian dishes for a very reasonable price.
One dish which is particular to Aleppo is muhammara, a delicious, tangy, spicy red paste of olives and roasted peppers which is eaten warm with warm flatbread.
For excellent fresh, flame-cooked lamb kebabs, try the kebab cart near the clocktower.
Alcohol is available only in the Christian quarter of the city where you will find beers and wines (mainly from Lebanon) and imported spirits. The drinking culture in the Christian Quarter tends to be quite mediterranean, with drinkers sharing a bottle of wine at a table with or after food.
There is an excellent fresh juice stall near the clock tower
