A Syrian hiking group is exploring the country's ancient sites and natural landscapes in the wake of the civil war's end. Led by founder Khaled Nwilati and joined by young Syrians like Areej Miro, the group aims to rediscover regions that were inaccessible during years of conflict. Their journeys, marked by both optimism and caution, reflect a desire to reconnect with their homeland and foster a renewed sense of national belonging. Despite lingering dangers from war remnants and ongoing tensions, the hikers are determined to visit every province, symbolizing hope for a more unified Syria.
