TOUR OVERVIEW
Beginning and ending in Lebanon’s vibrant capital, Beirut, this tour is your opportunity to see Syria at a unique point in its history after the fall of the Assad regime.
For a long time, the only thing most people knew about Syria was Palmyra and maybe a Cruisader castle or two. Now everyone's heard of Syria, but usually for all the wrong reasons, with the country's name having become somewhat synonymous with war, political turmoil and destruction.
But guess what – there’s a lot more to it than you’d expect! Starting with the buzzing old town of Damascus, the streets of which are lined with cool bars and cafes, we’ll make our way to the war-torn old town of Aleppo, stopping on the way at charming coffee stands and destroyed villages. Shrouded in a coat of destruction, we’ll then visit Idlib which was previously unimaginable. We will then hit up the highlight sites of Krak des Chevaliers and Palmyra which are a must for any visit to Syria. We’ll return to Damascus, make a quick detour to Bosra, and then finish it all of in Beirut.
