  • Why we love Syria

    • The southern site of Bosra offers a good starting-point: amidst a compellingly alien landscape of stark volcanic plains stands Roman remains gloriously embellished with Arabian flourishes
    • From discovering the atmospheric ‘dead cities’ to exploring the extraordinary ruins of Palmyra in Syria’s desert; from the enchanting, imposing crusader castle Krak des Chevaliers to the colonnaded Cardo Maximus of Apamea, set in the country’s moorlands
    • Like the riches on show in cosmopolitan Damascus’s spice souk, Syria dazzles in its variety and diversity.

Before a tour goes on sale we assess any risks and decide how to reduce and manage these. If we determine that an entire trip, part of a trip or an activity is too risky we won’t do it. It’s as simple as that. If we can’t address the issues and improve conditions we might modify an itinerary, change the accommodation or even decide not to travel to a certain location.
