The cage looks ok. A cardboard tunnel or plastic flexi tunnel might be a nice addition. A water bottle will be better than a bowl as a bowl is likely to get spilled or covered by substrate. There are bottles that are attached by a holder with suction cups on or a bottle guard that hangs over the top edge of the cage.

A lid is also a good idea to present escapes.

The jar/toilet/sand bath in the back left hand side would be better turned a bit so if fits right in the corner with no gap as Syrians usually put their bottoms right against the corner when going to the toilet.

A whimzee dog chew if often liked more than wooden hamster chews.

Some ripped up toilet paper for nest building. Place it up your sleeve first to get your scent on it. It can help with taming.
