Highlight of Highlights - Pick of the trip

The 'Dead Cities'

Discover one of Syria's lesser known treasures: the 'Dead Cities'. Abandoned 1500 years ago, these Byzantine towns are as quiet and still as the Damascus souks are bustling. Visit a castle, a Roman city and Serjilla - eerie and fascinating, the condition of the stone houses, tavern and church are remarkable!
