Syria Holidays

A Syria holiday might not be top of your wish list but it really should be.  It is rich in exquisite ancient sites and dramatic scenery, whilst its people are celebrated for their friendliness.

Syrians are proud of their country - with a combination of its green mountains, desert, the fertile Euphrates and the greatest collection of Roman and pre-Roman ruins to be found anywhere.   It is a jewel in the crown of the Middle East and holidays in Syria are always special.

Thanks to our unique access and exclusive insider knowledge, luxury holidays in Syria with A&K bring you closer to the fascinating sights and sounds of this remarkable country.

Syria holidays can offer so much, from the architecturally impressive Kerak des Chevaliers to Palmyra, the legendary city of palms that rises defiantly from the sands and the majestic Omayyad Mosque, one of the most magnificent buildings of Islam, you quickly fall under the spell of Syria's history. Nowhere is this more apparent than the streets of Old Damascus, the oldest inhabited city in the world.  Here, the stories of the Bible come magically to life, irrespective of your religious beliefs.  It is full of magic and charm with its bazaars, blind alleys, mosques and minarets, courtyards, street vendors, carts of almonds - green with furry skin that are crunchy and bitter to taste.

Aleppo would be the city to visit for a more relaxed Syria holiday. It is an ideal base from which to explore the surrounding area. The so-called Dead Cities, centres of huge wealth from olive oil in the Byzantine age, reach their apotheosis in the 5th century basilica of St Simeon.  Aleppo competes with Damascus for being the oldest inhabited city in the world.  Whereas Hama competes with Damascus on another level, for being the most picturesque city, another reason to enjoy a luxury holiday in Syria.

With A&K your holiday in Syria will be unforgettable.
