  Hi Sting,

  I'm coming to Aleppo at the beginning of January 2010. I've contacted the development project there, as I'm trying to build up my work experience in international development, I'm hoping I'll be helping out voluntarily. Have you been involved with the project?

  Can you give me some advice on what's going on and the best places to stay and visit in Aleppo?

  Thanks

    sting658 Hey
    in Syria,there are many interesting places, it depends when you will go and how many days you have ,then I will give you the important places to cover.
    Let's say 7-10 days are good for Syria, 2 in Aleppo(castle-souks-khans) 2 in Damascus(old city-museums-day trips around) and rest in between 1 at least in Palmyra .
