Syria

A cradle of civilization, Syria fascinates archaeologists and anthropologists, historians, geologists and philosophers of religion. For millennia it has been a crossroads for trade and in the thick of territorial disputes. What a shame this latter condition is still the case! Syria has its eye on the tourist industry, and facilities visitors require, from good roads to clean and reasonable hotels, are being established. Damascus, the world's oldest settlement, Palmyra with its Roman ruins, the Craq de Chevaliers built by the Crusaders-these head a long list of cultural and architectural wonders.
