Syria: it’s not what you think.
For many people, just the name brings to mind images of a country overflowing with terrorists. Nothing could be further from the truth, despite what some governments would have you believe. The Syrian people are incredibly welcoming to visitors of any nationality, perhaps only beaten to first place by their nearby neighbour Iran. And yes, that applies even if you’re American.
It’s easy to get a visa for Syria – even at the border, although officially you’re supposed to apply beforehand – and travel is cheap in this cradle of civilisation. Explore Damascus, the world’s oldest continuously inhabited city and wander among the ruins of Palmyra. Take in the scent of wafting spices in the souks of Aleppo and cycle to the hilltop where the ultimate Crusader knight castle of Crac de Chevaliers overlooks a beautiful valley. Hama is another popular destination, while Deir-ez-Zor on the Euphrates river is off the beaten track.
Most Syrians are Muslims but many religions are embraced within its borders so you won’t have to wear a headscarf or forgo your lycra shorts while exploring the country. It’s no problem to enjoy a cold beer or a glass of local wine after a hard day of pedalling.
The best part of all is that Syria is still relatively undiscovered. Come now while it’s still possible to wander virtually alone among the Assyrian ruins of Palmyra, one of the world’s finest archaeological sites.

During August 2009 I cycled about 2000km from Istanbul through Turkey and Syria to Damascus it was fantastic and the people were so nice, my one peice of advice is stock up on punture repair kits as the roads in Syria are good but littered with glass and shreadded truck tires…ohhh and beware of stray dogs!

My husband and i ended up being so lucky that Albert could conclude his basic research by way of the ideas he received while using the site. It is now and again perplexing to just happen to be giving out helpful hints that people might have been selling. And we also do understand we have you to give thanks to for that. The type of illustrations you have made, the straightforward site menu, the relationships you will aid to create – it’s many spectacular, and it’s really leading our son and our family feel that the topic is exciting, which is certainly highly pressing. Many thanks for all!
