Syria, the cradle of civilization, invites you to the most profound look at history, archaeology, religions and more. Starting from the most ancient capital continuously inhabited, Damascus, to the most magnificent oasis kingdom in the heart of the desert, Palmyra, to Maaloula where the people still speak "Aramaic", the language of Crist, to the spectacular Crusaders' castle "Krak des Chevaliers" , to the early Christian monasteries, to the "Street called Straight" of St. Paul and the church of Ananias, to the great Ommayad mosque with the shrine of the head of St. John the Baptist, to the fine beaches of the Mediterranean Sea, you will be fascinated and never forget what you experience. More hospitable than you imagine, the people give more than they take. Come to the heart of the world, to where it all began.
