Palmyra Festival 2009

Country forums / Middle East / Syria

Hi all,
I will visit Syria from 25 April till 5 May 2009.
Does someone know the exact dates of the Palmyra Festival 2009.
I've goolgled for it, but have only found it will be somewhere around the first week of May.
I'm looking for a day-to-day agenda for the festival (e.g. on which day will be the camel races been hold), so I can plan my stay in Palmyra very tight.
Thank you very much in advance!
Kind regards,
Robert.
