This is set to be yet another unique and extremely special tour for us in Syria. On the 8 th of December 2024, the Assad regime fell, and their long running rule of the country finally came to an end. So naturally, we thought to ourselves "what better way to mark the event than celebrate with locals on the fisrt anniversary of Assad-free Syria"! While there are no official celebrations set as of yet, but we know Syria well, and we are sure there will be something going on, and being here on this date will be something you won’t easily forget! As with all our Syria tours, this one will start and end in Lebanon’s vibrant capital Beirut, with the focus being on exploring Damascus and taking in celebrations of this anniversary. If you would like to see some more of the major highlights of Syria, including Aleppo, Krak des Chevaliers, Maaloula, Homs, Bosra and Idlib (yes that's right - we can also visit Idlib now for the first time in many years!), join us on the slightly longer The Fall of Assad First Anniversary Tour . If you’re looking for an amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience and a chance to celebrate something seriously cool, then this is the tour for you!

Be part of the celebrations for the first anniversary of the fall of the Assad regime
Explore all the main sites of Damascus , plus some of our favourite lesser known spots
Today we will still be in Damascus, but this day is what we’re here for! We are expecting celebrations today either official or unofficial to commemorate the fall of the Assad regime, and knowing Syria and Syrians, there should certainly be some fun to be had!
Today’s plan will be based around what we hear is happening and our plans will be very flexible.
In between events (if there are any) we will continue seeing sites in Damascus and eating amazing Syrian food, playing the day by ear, and just being available to take in whatever there is to take in.
Celebrations will hopefully continue into the evening, and we intend to go with the flow for what is set to be the most special anniversary of this occasion!
Overnight in Damascus.
