3 days tour in Syria
Arrival - City tour of Damascus
After arriving in Damascus, we start the full-day city trip by going down the Via Recta (straight street), which was mentioned in the Bible. We visit the Azem Palace housing the Museum of Arts and Popular Traditions, then head to Umayyad Mosque which is one of the earliest surviving mosques in the world with its stunning Islamic architecture and where Salah Al-Din Al-Ayyubi is buried. We continue to the chapel of St. Ananias built in the first century. Then, if you want to spend the night in Damascus, you can go shopping in the old Souq and finish the day by walking past the Church of St. Paul's Window.
Don't pass it up. What did our customers have to say about Our 3 days tour?
A Syrian short trip that will brings many fascinating places and their history to life in 2022. You'll journey through stunningly beautiful sites that some of them have been inhabitant since at least the sixth century BC. All that under supervision by a group of archaeological guides with extensive local knowledge. We like to demonstrate how our clients were impacted by the services and locations we chose to visit.

" It was a wonderfully organized short trip with beautiful swimming spots, and fascinating lectures on the region and history. I am half Russian half Syrian, but this is my first time to Syria. My Dad used to tell a lot about this country, including its culture, religious diversity, fine cuisine, art that reflects the coexistence of various civilizations that once inhabited these territories, historical heritage and many other topics. Although I was only in this beautiful country for two days, I was ecstatic to see my ancestral home lands."

"A worthwhile trip, I was planning to visit Damascus for a very long time. In Damascus, many old houses are still inhabited to this day! One of the most noticeable features of such houses is the central open courtyard, which typically has an alcove where inhabitants may host visitors and cool off in the summer, a water fountain, seating for the family and guests, and the most amazing part was the citrus trees since the entire house is filled with their fresh aroma. I can't describe how I am taken by such a beautiful old architecture."

"A perfectly chosen destination by the SyriaLink team! In spite of my short and quick three days tour in Syria, I still had the opportunity to have a lot of fun. I loved it when the organizers told us we will go to Saidnaya and the guides started telling the story of this town. I was thrilled that such a beautiful city is located in the middle east and felt sorry a little bit that I didn't know about it before, it's strange how the global media don't emphasize the vibrant side of Syria. Saidnaya really has two completely different sides; the spiritual one with all the ancient monasteries like the Our Lady of Saidnaya Monastery which is a must-see site as it has so many historic chapels and special artworks. The other side is the entertaining side with all the restaurants, pool parties, late-night celebrations, and many other activities!"
In this weekend trip to Syria we are aiming to highlight the remarkable attractions of Damascus and its environs. The fact that Syria is once again opening its borders to tourists from all over the world and that it is regaining its touristic relevance made our clients very delighted. Therefore, we value their endorsements of us and we like to show how they felt working with us.
"We had the most remarkable weekend family tour. Not only was everything wonderful, but we also had the sense that the entire team, including our guides, truly cared about us and wanted to make this trip special. Our trip's diversity, which included everything from archaeological sites to medieval monuments, pleasantly delighted us. What really stunned me was the Umayyad mosque, this place is filled with history! Every corner, inside-out, has a story to tell or pays tribute to a kind of art created by this long-ago people. I was very pleased to hear how Muslims and Christians still pray together here and tried to read about the Byzantine characteristics of the mosque, which makes it unique in the world."
"What a wonderful experience! Although it was just a two days trip but it lived up to our very high expectations. The food in Syria was really plentiful; I had a variety of meals and snacks, but the Shawrma really won my heart-even though I had previously tried it in a different middle eastern countries, the Syrian version is unquestionably the greatest! Additionally, the Damascene people was really friendly and charming. With this incredible assistance SyriaLink provides, next time I will most certainly stay more than a weekend." " This was our second experience with SyriaLink. And we are delighted to give them an excellent rating on this weekend tour, everything run very smoothly, from initial contact, to booking, to superb coordination by the tour organizers. The selection of tour sites was perfect, me and my husband come from an Orthodox Christian families and what really pleasantly surprised us was Maaloula city near Damascus with its monasteries that date back to the Roman era and the language of Christ that is still spoken there by the local inhabitants. Unfortunately the village has been affected during the Syrian Civil conflict. Nevertheless, Maaloula is a very interesting town to visit."
