Syria,  Jordan, Lebanon Tour Overview

Syria, Jordan and Lebanon continue to play an important role in the history of the near East and the world.  Travelers may enjoy this area still undisturbed by major tourism.  You will find deluxe hotels, restaurants providing the best of Middle Eastern cuisine and comfortable vehicles that travel on excellent roads.  People are gentle and friendly, cities are cosmopolitan and English is the second language.  The countryside is spectacular and varied, with mountains and deserts, forests of palms or pines, olive grove and vineyards and acres of fresh vegetables.

Ancient remains are so abundant that you will find clothes-lines suspended between Greek columns and people still living in Roman villas that have been occupied for 1700 years.  The Syria, Jordan and the parts of Lebanon we will visit are a photographer’s paradise.  Those who like to shop during free time will not be disappointed.  You will find old Palestinian silver, Bedouin embroidery, silk brocades, Kurdish carpets, and kilims from Persia.

The world’s oldest continually inhabited cities, the earliest written language, the largest Roman theater and the most impressive Crusader castles are found here.  Damascus and Aleppo are not only among the oldest cities of the world, they are also living monuments to their Islamic heritage.  Damascus was the capital of the Omayyad state, the first and largest of the Islamic empires.  The Omayyad mosques, where Muslims of today pray five times daily, are masterpieces of a unique architectural style.  The souk of Aleppo has maintained a traditional character that is disappearing from so much of the Middle East.  From 5,000 year old sites to the cosmopolitan cities found there today, this region is home to a culture different form our own, yet one from which ours has directly borrowed and slowly evolved.
