CEYLANPINAR, Turkey — At the gates of an enormous refugee camp here, among all the women with scarves knotted under their chins and men with thick hands and coarse woolen trousers, there was one young couple who just did not seem to fit in.

Khalid Haleet was clean-shaven and dressed in a Polo shirt, jeans and white leather lounge slippers, his inky black hair rakishly thrown back. His wife, Abir, was wearing an ankle-length trench coat cinched at the waist, rings glittering with gold.

The two of them, who married just a few months ago, escaped last week from Aleppo, Syria’s commercial capital, because, as Mr. Haleet put it, “we saw tanks, we heard rockets and it was time to leave.”

But as soon as they crossed the border, they were shocked.

Imagine snakes, scorpions and stupefying heat. And miles and miles of white tents spread across a gravel parking lot. This is what life is like in one of Turkey’s newest refugee camps, where the Haleets arrived on Sunday morning.
