Syria Travel Blogs

Looking back, this is by far one of the most special trips I have ever made. Almost every day we felt as if we were experiencing something unique. The hospitality of the people inviting us for tea or a chat on an almost daily basis is definitely what made this region so special, but also the rich h…

Very early in the morning it is time to get up and get ready to leave for Syria. It'll be a long day of driving and boarder crossing hence an early start is needed :( I don't feel really well rested after a maximum of two hours of sleep. But I don't have any signs of a hangover - when I try to …

Travelling from Cairo to Venice, through Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Croatia and Italy.

The time that the bus supposed to take off at 8.30 dragged till 10. I didn’t have any clue what was the problem. The seats were more than half empty. Earlier that morning I saw some western travelers boarded the other bus that departed on time. Soon after half an hour journey something was wrong…

Leaving Hama, heading for Damascus, on our way we visited Crac des Chevaliers, a crusaders fortress, one of the most important preserved medieval military castles in the world! Before returning to Damascus we visited as well Malulu (which means 'entrance'). The only place in the world where Aramai…

El Sol se colaba por las ventanas de la terraza cubierta del Spring Flower Hostel, calentando lo suficiente para activar nuestras neuronas y levantarnos de nuestros cutrecolchones. Ali apareció sonriente recién duchada y me mostró una foto del grupo durmiendo plácidamente. Pedimos que nos prepa…

When trying to figure out my itinerary I decided to fly to Damascus and travel to Beirut the next day. This left me with the possibility to cancel that trip if the situation in Lebanon would get nasty. I did this because of the elections, which took place a week before me arriving. Times like that …

I’m taking a taxi from Amman to Damascus with the British engineer.  The rest of our little group of six have parted ways.  About 300 m from the border, the driver asks us to get out of the car.  He pops off the seat back revealing a hidden compartment into which he stuffs cartons …

I began my journey to Kurdistan Iraq from Damascus, Syria where I spent three days checking out this very old city.
