Dont want to carry too much or too little. Whats the average cash people carry when travelling around Syria?
My Syria travel budget hovered around $32 daily. I dined at local cafés near the Umayyad Mosque and paid cash for taxis around Al-Jdeideh. Banks near the city center dispensed cash easily.
Traveling in Aleppo, I budgeted about $38 per day, which included meals, taxis, and minor entry fees to cultural sites. I stayed at small inns near the Citadel, which helped with my budget.
I kept my daily expenses around $35 in Syria by eating at street vendors and using local taxis. Staying near Old City Damascus made sightseeing easy without spending on transport, and cash withdrawals from the Bank of Syria were convenient.
Budgeting in Damascus, I spent close to 15,000 to 18,000 SYP (about $30-$40) daily, including meals near Umayyad Square, taxis, and entrance fees. Lodging at small hotels in Al-Midan helped keep costs down.
