Following over a decade of a tragic and deadly Civil War, Syria—once again one of the most beautiful countries in the Middle East—is welcoming the bravest and most daring visitors to pay their respects and explore this intriguing nation.
Capital: Damascus
Population: 18 million in 2019 (63rd)
Languages: Arabic
Area: 185,180km² (87th largest country)
Today, anyone who wants to get a visa to enter Syria needs to pre-arrange a tour with a valid operator.
The areas controlled by the Syrian Government are relatively stable and safe and in fact, those are the only areas where you are allowed to go.
Syria is a post-war zone where millions of people died. Traveling there requires a good dose of sensitivity and responsibility. This involves not taking selfies, not making jokes and being respectful. Syria isn’t a place to show off but to learn and become wiser.
