Syria Travel Information


A leader's perspective...

Damascus is most exotic city I´ve ever been to. Visiting the ancient crossroads is like stepping back in time and oozes with warmth and hospitality. The souq with its glass ceiling stretches on and on past fascinating shops selling everything from perfume oils to creamy hand made ice cream. Beyond this friendly shopping haven, Syria has magnificent architectural ruins. The Roman ruins of Palmyra, backed by an imposing Arab castle, loom up out of the desert landscape. The magnificent Crusader castles and lush green hills of the east provide a contrast. As a solo woman traveller I have never been treated with as much respect as in Syria. The people are generous to a fault and I always feel as though I'm among friends.
