Happy New Year! What an absolutely fabulous way to bring in another new year, partying with Syrians in the vibrant and exciting old town of Damascus. Syria's capital is a happening place at the best of times, and we can't think of anywhere better to spend New Year.
As with all of our Syria tours, we will start and end in Beirut, and we will of course venture far deeper into Syria than just a fun night in Damascus!
We'll show you the historical side of Syria, with the remarkable Roman amphitheatre at Bosra, the famously destroyed, but actually still more impressive than most ruins, Palmyra, and Krak des Chaveliers.
But let's not forget that this is a country with a fascinating recent history as well, and this is really a unique point in its history. So we will also be exploring Aleppo, Homs, Maaloula, and other places where you'll be able to get a feel for modern Syria as well.
We also have a shorter Budget Tour of Syria, for those who want to explore this magnificent country, but don't have so long to do it in.
If you like the look of this tour but the dates don't work for you, or you'd like to do part of the tour, please get in touch and let us know. All our tours are able to be split into smaller sections, we're always scheduling new tours and your dates might work for one of them, or we can always organise an independent tour.
