Syria
Travel The Road to Damascus
St Paul might have had a mystical experience on the road to Damascus, but today travellers to the misunderstood and incredibly rewarding country of Syria also have their own moments of wonder.
If you are looking for a place where the reception from local people is as warm as the honey-coloured stone Zenobia’s Palmyra, then you must head to Syria. With amazing Crusader-era castles like the incomparable Krak de Chevaliers, old-city charm of Damascus and Aleppo complete with its Citadel and intensely atmospheric medieval souk Syria is a melting pot of experiences to treasure.
History one can touch provide some of the richest travel experiences available and make this a destination for those seeking to discover the Middle East’s true nature – friendly, welcoming and rewarding on so many different levels.
