If you would like to alter any of these holidays to suit your personal requirements, perhaps you'd prefer a higher standard of hotel, an extra few nights here and there, or to add another place of interest? That's no problem at all. Please give us a call and allow our expert tailor-made team to put together an itinerary bespoke to your requirements.
Where Europe, Asia and Africa meet is where you’ll find Syria, a country with a capital city that has been continually inhabited for longer than any other city on Earth. It’s that kind of extensive history that really sets Syria apart, with more historical landmarks and relics than most countries. Welcoming locals who are proud of their country, excellent food and a richly detailed history make Syria a rewarding place to visit.
The capital, Damascus, weaves historical monuments dating back through its 10 000 year history into modern everyday life. And Damascus isn’t alone – Aleppo, Palmyra and Bosra are all have fascinating histories and are sensationally beautiful too.
Visit Krac de Chevalier (a castle dating back to the crusades) explore a labyrinth of local souqs and see the Umayyad mosques. Incredibly, most of these monuments aren't just relics - they're also used preactically in some capacity today. Syria certainly hasn’t lost sight of its past, though it is also a modern, efficient and proud nation.
Lebanon is usually quite different to how most people picture it. Liberal and laid-back, Beirut is commonly referred to as the ‘Paris of the Orient’, and indeed there are parallels between it and some of its European counterparts. An ambitious urban redevelopment program is changing the way the city looks and feels, and it’s exciting to bear witness to this evolution in Beirut’s identity. In Lebanon as a whole, the range of cultural landmarks – from Roman ruins, Phoenician ports and Christian hideaways to Crusader castles and Mamluke mosques – show that Lebanon’s past is just as varied and eclectic as its future.
