Last year, we successfully organized four incredible tours to Syria, with many more in the pipeline. However, plans were briefly put on hold during the government transition in late 2024. Fortunately, the situation stabilized quickly, and now, with flights resuming to Damascus Airport, Syria is once again ready to welcome visitors with open arms!
We invite you to step into the heart of Syria this Easter on a journey filled with history, faith, and breathtaking landscapes. From the ancient alleyways of Damascus to the serene monasteries of Maaloula, the medieval grandeur of Krak des Chevaliers, and the festive Easter celebrations in Rabah, this tour offers a rare glimpse into Syria’s rich cultural tapestry.
Experience the vibrant city of Idlib which was off-limits for many years, the echoes of Aramaic prayers, and the warm hospitality of Syrian villages, all while exploring centuries-old churches and archaeological wonders. Join us for an unforgettable Easter adventure where tradition and history come alive!
