Middle East Oct 2010 site suggestions

Country forums / Middle East / Syria

Hi Folks
Going to Middle East Oct 2010. Will be there three full weeks. (in/out of Amman) I want to visit Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria and I was thinking a week in each. My MUST SEE list is short and I ask you to help me add to it. So far I have Petra, snorkeling at Aqaba, Beruit, Baalbek, Damascus. Where else and why? Luckily I have plenty of time to get people's opinion. Never too early to start. Very excited. Single solo male traveler, here. Mid budget. Thank you

Krak de Chevaliers was my favourite site in Syria - crusader castle

Hello martinic .
I have traveled to Syria last October for 17 days I visited all the main sites of the country. The sites that I think are worth visiting are in order of importance: Damascus, Palmyra, the Euphrates Valley (Rasafa and Halabiyya), Aleppo, St. Simeon, Krac des Chevaliers castle, Salah ad-Din castle, Bosra, All these sites are beautiful and totally unmissable for anyone who wants to visit Syria.All these sites can be visited in one week itinerary.
