According to The Sun, the Miami Vice-style clip portrays the country as a glamorous sun-filled holiday resort complete with expensive speedboats and packed beaches.

The video – from the Syrian Ministry of Tourism – opens with sweeping views of the country’s coastline and shows hundreds of bathers swimming in crystal blue seas.

The mini-movie then pans over a luxury seaside villa complex as a pumping soundtrack plays in the background.
