From Stone Age man to Hittites, Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantine, and Ottoman it's a melting pot of ancient civilisations, culture, kingdoms, religion and dynasties.
We explore a land at the epicentre of the Middle East, where bloody wars once raged between Christian Crusaders and Islamic armies, where storytellers inscribed The Arabian Nights – a land that inspired countless travellers, writers, poets, archaeologists, and explorers from Lawrence of Arabia, to Gertrude Bell, Agatha Christie and Mark Twain, where St. George the patron saint of England lies buried, and Aramaic, the language of Jesus Christ, is still spoken.
Welcome to Syria. |
