Before Saad came to Berlin in 2015, he was a city guide for tourist groups in Damascus. Today, he offers a journey into Syrian culture and politics in the centre of Berlin-Neukölln. Saad is one of 13.8 million displaced people who, according to the UNHCR, are fleeing the war inside and outside the country.
Along Sonnenallee, also known as “Arab Street”, he shows cultural parallels and differences between Syria and Germany. His city tour through Damascus included Al-Nasr Street, which Sonnenallee reminds him of. By presenting everyday customs on the one hand and special customs on the other, he brings his Syrian roots closer, explains the background and dispels prejudices. In an approachable way, he illustrates how familiar traditional foods and places create a sense of home, but without being able to replace the desire for one’s actual homeland.
