SYRIA

between Orient and Occident

17 - 28 April 2011

Lecturer: Sue Rollin         

 

Syria lies at the crossroads between Orient and Occident. Throughout history traders and armies have traversed its mountains and deserts, navigated its rivers and sailed into its harbours. From Babylonians to Arabs, many cultures have left their mark. We explore Crusader castles, Byzantine churches, Roman fortresses on the Euphrates, Classical caravan cities. Included is a visit to Baalbek with its immense temples. Ancient ruins, bustling oriental bazaars, spectacular desert and mountain landscapes make a journey through Syria and unforgettable experience.
