This is your chance to see all that the Levant has to offer - from the street art and urbex of Beirut, to the picturesque alleyways of Damascus; the ancient Roman sites of Palmyra, Baalbek and the amphitheatre in Bosra, to the vineyards and microbreweries of Lebanon; the desctruction of Aleppo and Homs, to the Mediterranean coasts at Byblos and Latakia.
And not to mention, what must be one of the best cuisines in the world!
