I did spend five weeks here in May/June so I'm familiar with parts of the city.

To be honest it's pretty chilled. It's the main highway that's a bit of a worry. To get to Dura (where I am working) you have to travel the section from the airport to the south of the city. It is a bit scary. Other than that the main problem is that there is no power and no water - well about two hours a day. It is 3am and about 30 degrees C - so with no air con and no water, everyone is bound to be pissed off!

Be CAREFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And, take in as much as you can.
