Put simply, Syria is much misunderstood. In reality, the Syrian people are some of the friendliest, most generous people that you’ll find. They live in a country which overflows with riches of all kinds, from amazing medieval cities complete with bazaars lit by shafts of light, to great fortresses, romantic desert cities, wild mountain areas and wonderful food.Syria has been launched as ever with a main travel guide to Syria. With such a large country, we’ve created 4 regional travel guides to Syria.The travel guide to Damascus describes the sights of the capital, with a focus on the main attractions of Damascus such as the Azem Palace, Ummayed Mosque and Hamadiyeh Souk: head to this section too as we eventually discover Bosra and its magnificent theatre. The travel guide to Palmyra takes us to Zenobia’s romantic desert capital, Palmyra, where you’ll be able to read about the Valley of the Tombs, the Temple of Bel and the artefacts in Palmyra Museum, whilst heading to the coast the travel guide to the Mediterranean Coast will reveal a string of fortresses both Arab and Crusader, such as the unbelievable Krak des Chevalier and Saladin’s Castle, along with historical sites such as Apamea. Lastly but not least we’ve created the travel guide to Aleppo to showcase some of the wonders of this city of winding backstreets, atmospheric souks and a magnificent Citadel, just some of the sights to see before the traveller heads to the Dead Cities and St Simeon’s Basilica.
