Spectacular desert landscapes
Spectacular desert landscapes, ancient temples and the great Euphrates River make Syria holidays unforgettable.
First-time visitors to Syria are often surprised at the variety of the landscape, and the energy of the vibrant, modern cities, but this often overlooked country is widely considered the hidden jewel of the Middle East’s crown. Whether it’s trekking the desert on the back of a camel, taking photographs in the pine-covered mountains or tasting the fine cuisine of this vivid country, holidays in Syria are a wonderful revelation.
Explore Syria
History enthusiasts will love the layering of old and new throughout the country. Hire a car and drive out into the desert to Palmyra, the breath-taking ancient Roman city, and you won’t be disappointed. There are plenty of restaurants in this area too; try the nearby Casa Mia for a contemporary menu at a reasonable price.
Don’t miss out on the national dishes on your holidays to Syria. Try the yabrak, vine leaves stuffed with rice and minced meat, or the kubbeh, a torpedo-shaped croquette made of rice and stuffed with delicately spiced meat, onion and nuts.
Looking for spiritual enlightenment on your Syria holidays? Take the road to Damascus and see the awe-inspiring architecture of the Umayyad Mosque, set right in the heart of the medieval city. This is one of the holiest places in Islam, and the courtyard acts as a meeting place for worshippers and visitors alike. Come at sunset or sunrise for the most spectacular views.
