Damascus has one more kosher restaraunt than Seattle now.
"It all began when a #Jewish #American family visiting #Syria found themselves eating only fruit for dinner. The food at the #hotel was not #kosher, and the hotel owner quickly realized there was a problem. Against the backdrop of Jewish #tourists returning to Syria under the country’s new regime, he decided, according to a report in The New York Times, to offer a #koshermenu for Jewish guests.
The #RoyalSemiramis, a five-star hotel in #Damascus, reopened only in April 2025. Recently, following the introduction of its kosher menu, it has become a central hub for #Jews arriving in the city."
