We travelled for 3 weeks through Syria with its beautiful mosques, its sandy colours and friendly people. We explored the ancient monuments of Palmyra and we listened to the cracking sound of the wheels in Hama. The markets and the souqs are very lively and colourful and the food is delicious. We were impressed by the hospitality of the people and their friendliness. |
