Practical Information
Syria is an often overlooked destination, but it's a wonderful way to experience the Middle East. The people are incredibly open and welcoming, the landscape is varied and impressive, and the country is filled with fascinating history. Transportation throughout Syria is surprisingly easy and the costs are still incredibly affordable. It is a great country to visit if you're looking for something different, authentic, and inviting.
Travel Tips

Syria Visas

By wanderinggurl on Apr 20, 2010 in Visas
Get your visas on the border if at all possible. It's far cheaper than through the embassy. In the United States they charge $131 compared to $17 on the border with Turkey. It takes a few hours (a little longer for Americans) but is well worth the wait if you have the time.
