Just came back from Syria as an EU citizen - can help any fellow travelers with planning their trip and how to get it done smoothly.

I just got back from Damasus, Homs and Krak des Chevaliers and had honestly the best time in my life. Syria is very beautiful and has the most amazing people you can meet on the planet.
Thank you very much, Syrian people, for the experience and I wish you all the best in the future. Lots of love from me!

Question

Visiting Syria as an American

Hello all,
I am considering visiting Syria following the new year. I most likely would fly to Lebanon and then drive out to Syria. Would I have a hard time getting past the border security or would I be fine as long as I had a visa approved by the government? As an American who does not speak any Arabic would this be a very hard obstacle to get around? Also would I ruffle some feathers being an American? I would definitely plan on visiting Damascus and depending on the longevity of my stay travel to other areas held by the government. What other cities/places would you recommend I visit? Also if I was planning to spend between a week to 2 weeks in Syria do you think I could manage a budget of 500-1000$? Considering there is sometime between now and the new year I could certainly pick up some basic vocabulary for my visit. Also any recommendations into planning such a trip would be appreciated. Thanks for reading this and I look forward to your suggestions/advice.
Edit: I also am quite interested in history so if there are any historical sites or cities you would recommend please let me know!

Is Syria(Bashar al-Assad) and Turkey at war with each other?

Based on Turkey occupying Halab province,is the Syrian government officially or unofficially in a direct war with Turkey?
