On the road to Damascus

Article Abstract:

Syria is not a mainstream tourist destination, but could appeal to those seeking culture and a hot climate. Most visitors to Syria begin with the cities of Damascus and Aleppo, but it is worth taking the time to discover other places in Syria. These could include the old town of Tartous, which is based around a Templar citadel. This town is only 15 km from Krak des Chevaliers, a magnificent medieval castle.
