I went to visit Syria with not many expectation except that the people I was told were very friendly. I loved everything about it, the people, the narrow streets, the souqs, the art, the history. Amazing! What I loved the most is the tolerance and harmony displayed by Syrians. I recommend to all. Would love to visit again. We stayed in a Hotel in the old, right in the middle of all the action. It was also a conversion of an old style Syrian house. The interiors, gardens were an art form in themselves.
