Syria is part of a region recognised as the cradle of civilisation, with an ancient history dating back as far as 8000 BC. Syria boasts the world`s oldest continuously inhabited cities, of Damascus and Aleppo, whilst fragments from the world's oldest civilisations in the country are believed to contain the oldest alphabet in the world.
The Greeks, the Romans, the Arabs and the crusaders all contributed to Syria's extraordinary archaeological treasures of ancient citadels, Roman cities, crusader castles, Arab forts and medieval souks.
Syria undoubtedly is one of the Middle East's most fascinating destinations, not only for all its archeological treasures, but also for its dramatic scenery which ranges from mountains and rivers to desert and coastline, as well as its charming people who are incredibly friendly and welcome you to their country.
