Fate has placed Syria at the turning point of historical events for thousands of years. A country so rich in history that it has been described as an open -air Museum.

It was here that cultures of Mari and Ugarit rose and fell, where Assyrian, Sumerian, Phoenician, Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek and Roman empires and cultures met and influenced each other.

Syria has stunning natural scenery, rugged mountains, deserts, beautiful swimming beaches, green valleys, and mountain peaks; perpetually covered with snow.

Today, visitors to Syria are spoiled for choice of important sites to visit: the great mosque of Damascus, the temples at Palmyra, the Citadel of Aleppo and more. But what most visitors remember most is the warmth, grace, and overwhelming hospitality of Syria's people. A key region of the Ottoman Empire, Syria retains much of the grace and elegance associated with the Ottoman period at its best.

A combined tours Jordan - Syria can be arranged by Petra Tours.
