## About

Arabic marketplace for ready-made digital products including website templates, WordPress themes, app source code, and design assets

## Activity summary

Restricted for users in Syria. Community testing in August 2026 found the site loads and sign-in works from a Syrian connection, but Picalica's published terms list Syria among countries whose residents it does not serve. No outreach to the company yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-08-28 — Investigated. Community testing found that Picalica is reachable from Syria: the site loads normally and a community member was able to sign in and browse the catalogue, with no block page or geographic error. The restriction here is contractual rather than technical. The published terms at picalica.com/pages/terms state, under a heading listing countries and regions not dealt with, that Picalica's services are unavailable to companies or individuals resident in Syria, alongside Afghanistan, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, Crimea, Yemen and Zimbabwe.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
