Syrian Visa for US Citizens

I am interested to found out something about Syrian Visa for US Citizens. I will go in two weeks to my cousin in Turkey. HE said something about going couple days in Syria. I dont know if I will more problem than him to get visa. Does anybody have experience with this thing? Thank you in advance.

As much as I know the visa is not very easy to get. Ok, it is not very hard either. You will need patience and a good behavior on the border. So, you can get visa on the border. In order to get visa you will have to be nice to guards and employees there. IF you are acting bed they will ignore you probably. They can even make you problems. It is always good to be nice to guards on the border. But your friend probably has experience with this things, so he will advice you what to do. Maybe he knows someone on the border, then you will get visas easier.
