Damascus- Krak De C -Aleppo 1 day...Country forums / Middle East / Syria | ||
hi all. heading to syria next wednesday - very excited!! Just trying to put together a very rough itinerary. is it feasible to get from damascus to Krak de chevaliers and on to aleppo all in the one day??? or would it be too much of a rush?? better stay in homs for a night maybe?? | ||
I guess this would be possible if you only have one day and start early, but it'd be a real shame to rush though. You'll need a taxi all to yourself and a willing driver! This won't be too hard to arrange. If you do have more time, you should at least consider fitting in Palmyra - an amazing place. Whatever you do you'll have a great trip, Syria is a fascinating place with wonderful people. View photographs from my trip to Syria OP | 1 | |
It is possible to do it in a day but it will be rush.If you have another day you could stop overnight at Hama and visit the surrounding ruins scattered between Hama and Aleppo. | 2 | |
