Syria – Land of Jasmine Tour – Essential

0
  • 7 Days
  • Max Guests : 12

Tour Details

Syria is an extraordinary destination, a land of ancient history, breathtaking landscapes, and warm hospitality that has endured for millennia.

This 7-day essential tour takes you through the heart of Syria, visiting the ancient cities of Damascus, Bosra, Maaloula, Krak des Chevaliers, Palmyra and Aleppo – each a UNESCO World Heritage Site – as well as the Mediterranean coast and the Valley of Christians.

Syria is the cradle of civilisation, where the world’s oldest continuously inhabited cities still pulse with life. Walking through the alleys of the Old City of Damascus, standing in the colonnaded streets of Palmyra, and hearing Aramaic – the language of Christ – still spoken in Maaloula, you feel the weight and wonder of human history in ways few places on earth can offer.

Our small group tours are led by expert local guides who share deep knowledge and genuine passion for their country. We travel in comfortable private vehicles, stay in handpicked hotels, and include all entrance fees and most meals.
