This aerial picture shows the abandoned Al-Qariyah Al-Shamiyah theme park village near Damascus, where most of Syria's pan-Arab drama series used to be filmed, on January 7, 2025. The tourist complex Al-Qariyah Al-Shamiyah started life as a reproduction of an 18th and 19th century Syrian village used as the set for the popular television series Bab al-Hara and with a few additions has now become a huge village-sized open-air museum with reproductions of well known areas and scenes from traditional Syrian life.
