SYRIA
Welcome to Syria, one of the Middle East's most intriguing and delightful destinations. Like many travelers who have gone before you, this is a surprising place you'll be glad you visited. Despite some international political efforts to marginalize this country with fearful travel advisories about terrorism, Syria remains one of the safest, friendliest, and most hospitable places for tourists. While its seemingly Byzantine government and politics may leave much to be desired, its charming people, sites, sounds, cuisine, and shopping captivate travelers who know so little about this unique place.
