Back in its golden good days, Damascus was the most visited city in the Levent and Middle East. However, war has changed and turned everything upside down inclusive of people’s lives.
Tourists used to love this city which brought together the Islamic and Christian cultures on one land. In the past, the Umayyad Mosque and Azm Palace were the most visited sites in the city, but this is no longer possible.
Along with other Syrian cities, Damascus turned into a war zone. Most of the Syrian people sought refuge in Europe and neighboring countries. The American State Department considers Syria as a prohibited place to travel to.
The political instability in the country may put the visitors’ life at stake. Among the very risky dangers, one could be subject to in Damascus is exposure to being killed or injured because of the ballistic missiles or chemical weapons. Syria is unfortunately no longer safe even for its own people.

Dayton is the place where planes work nonstop. It is a famous city for aviation activity in it. In fact, Dayton hosts one of the largest aviation museums worldwide, not to mention that the latter is the most attractive visited place in the whole city.
In reality, it is the birthplace of the Wright Brothers, who are the pioneers of successful aviation. They worked so hard to invent, build and fly the most gorgeous airplanes in history. Thanks to them, aviation became safer at the time.
If you are not quite into planes, why do not visit Carillon Historical Park which includes exhibits and buildings that are marks of the great ancient, rich history of the city. This sounds amazing right?
But do you think that Dayton is the right place where to live and stay? The answer is no, and the reasons are as follows, first, the median house price in the city is 66,600 dollars.
Second, the unemployment percentage is already high, reaching 13.3%,. Third, the median income, which is estimated to be 28,745 dollars, reflects the poor conditions in which most of the residents live. According to the states’ criminal record, safety is not in the city’s dictionary as the crime rate is high.
