Syria

Syria sits at the crossroads of the ancient world, where desert plateaus meet fertile river valleys and the remnants of civilisations layer one upon another in the soil. The Euphrates runs through its east, the Anti-Lebanon range marks its western edge, and the air in its old cities still carries the scent of jasmine and roasting spices — even after years of profound upheaval.

About Syria

Overview

Located in the heart of the Levant, Syria borders Turkey to the north, Iraq to the east, Jordan and Israel to the south, and Lebanon and the Mediterranean Sea to the west. Damascus, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, serves as the capital. Arabic is the official language and the Syrian pound is the official currency, though the economy has been severely disrupted by conflict since 2011.
