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.
