Before Saad came to Berlin in 2015, he guided tourist groups through the streets of Damascus. Today, he takes children and young people on an exciting tour through Neukölln—showing them how much of Syria can be found in Berlin!

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.
