The collection was begun after World War I, and the museum was officially opened in 1942. The museum has collections totaling about 100,000 objects, most of which are antiquities and medieval finds from excavations undertaken by the Directorate General of Antiquities. About 1300 artifacts are exhibited, ranging in date from prehistoric time to the medieval Mamluk period.</span></span><span style="line-height: 115%; font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-US"><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">During the 1975 Lebanese Civil War, the museum stood on the front line that separated the warring factions.

The museum’s building can be bit confusing for those who understand basic, architectural styles. The building’s design seems to have fused some Italian concepts with Oriental and Persian styles of architecture to create a unique configuration. Built during the 19th century, the Sursock was once a royal, private villa.

Beiteddine is a palace built at the beginning of the 19th century, by Emir Bechir Chehab II, on a rocky spur dominating a steep, precipitous valley. A perfect example of classic Lebanese architecture of the time, it has decorated ceilings, colorful marble mosaic floors, luxurious Turkish Baths and harem suites, in a setting of beautifully groomed gardens, a guest house in which the French Poet "Lamartine" once dwelt, water jets and colonnades. The palace remained the emir’s residence until his forced exile in 1840, when the Ottomans used it as the government residence. It was declared a historic monument in 1934, and then began a restoration process. Since 1943, it has been the summer home of the president.

From "Ras Al-Basit" to "Ras Ibn Hani" there are rounded gulfs like "Minet El-Baida" that once sheltered the great kingdom of Ugarit.<br /><br />The coastal mountainous range borders the coastal plain and runs from north to south. The mountains have an average width of 35 km, and their altitude declines from a modest 5,673 feet (1,729 m) in the north (east of Lattakia) to 5,256 feet (1,602 m) at Jebel Aqra to 1,969 feet (600 m) in the south, at the gap near Homs. Directly to the east of the mountains is the "Ghab" Depression, a 75 km longitudinal trench that contains the valley of the Orontes River.<br /><br />The main ridge rises to a maximum height of 8,625 feet (2,629 m) near Al-Nabk, while the average height is between 6,000 and 7,000 feet. Mt. Hermon (Jebel al Shaykh), Syria''s highest point, rises to 9,232 feet (2,814 m).<br /><br />This semi circle of fertile land encompasses the Syrian Desert. This is where agriculture first began. Starting from the "Ghab" depression it extends eastward to create the most important geographical feature in Syria. With the addition of the Dam on the Euphrates, and modern irrigation this part of Syria is the area with the biggest production of cotton.<br /><br />And Sure the Syrian Desert that comprises about 58% of the Syrian territory. These undulating plains, often called the steppe, have a general elevation between 980 and 1,640 feet; they are seldom less than 820 feet (250 m) above sea level. The area is not a sand desert but comprises rock and gravel steppe; a mountainous region in the south-central area is known as al Hamad, and the main oasis is that at the foot of the Palmyrene Mountains which has very sulfurous water springs. The Climate here generally tends to be continental. Summers are long and extremely hot, while winters are short with severe cold winds.</span><br /><br /></p>', 1, 15),

Hospitality is the main aspect of UAE people traditions and values. It is reflected in the authentic warmth and kindliness that visitors find. <br /><br />Hospitality is deep rooted in the people’s culture and history. It first started as one of the age-old Arabian customs, and has grown now into a social intrinsic value.<br /><br />The “majli” or the reception room in the Emirati house is always prepared to receive and welcome guests with the incense of Oud, dates, Fuwala (nuts, sweets and fruits), and the Arabic coffee that is usually served to guests with the addition of special ingredients including cardamom, saffron and rose water, all indicators of generosity and hospitality. <br /><br />Hospitality is today reflected in all Abu Dhabi life aspects, it is the foundation upon which the destination image has been built.<br /><br /><strong>Greeting<br /></strong><br />Social customs are shared throughout the Gulf Arab countries. An Islamic greeting ( al-salam alaykom )is the most appropriate, and men follow this with a quick nose-to-nose touch while shaking hands. Women greet each other by kissing several times on both cheeks. Men normally do not shake hands with women in public. It is customary to ask about the health of a person and his or her family several times before beginning light conversation. Refreshments usually are served before serious matters are discussed. <br />It is customary not to use first names but to say "father or mother of (oldest son)." Respect and courtesy are shown to elders, and in their presence young men are expected to listen more and speak less. Sex segregation is still evident in social life. Men are entertained in majlis (large living rooms, often with a separate entrance), while women entertain friends in the home. It is customary to take off one''s shoes before entering a private house. <br /><br />Emiratis stand close to each other when interacting. It is acceptable for men or women to hold hands. The presence of many ethnic groups has led Emiratis to be tolerant of other social customs, yet they remain conscious of their own customs as markers of cultural identity.</p>', 1, 21),

Sharjah is about the only emirate that doesn’t have any UAE nightlife to offer. UAE nightclubs have flourished over the years and now provide a diverse range of things to do for tourists when the sun goes down. Upscale Dubai luxury hotels offer UAE nightlife like jazz clubs and piano bars but many excellent nightclubs are found inside a variety of Dubai hotels. <br /><br />Nightlife in Dubai is especially hot on Thursdays and Saturdays, while you’ll find Dubai nightlife tends to be pretty dead on Mondays. UAE nightclubs shut down between 1am and 2am and the legal drinking age is twenty-one. A host of famous DJ”s has begun flocking to Dubai, a catalyst for the lively, emerging club scene. To enjoy Dubai nightlife at many clubs you must be 25 or over. Late night clubs have to close by 3am at the latest by law and most implement a fairly relaxed dress code. Ditch your jeans and sandals for the night to ensure you’ll have no problems getting in. <br /><br />Abu Dhabi nightlife plays second fiddle to Dubai yet there are a great number of bars, pubs, clubs and discos to choose from. For night owls Abu Dhabi nightlife is paramount. Venues include anything from sleek bars to pumping discos. Notwithstanding its cosmopolitan, multicultural nature and business orientation, Abu Dhabi city retains much of the quiet charm that characterizes a typical Arabic city at night. Nightlife in Abu Dhabi can be as quiet and refreshing as a stroll by the corniche or in a park in the cooler seasons or as active as watching a rock band performance in a pub or dancing in a night club in one of Abu Dhabi’s five or four-star hotels. Between the two extremes nightlife in Abu Dhabi has much to offer to all age groups, tastes and interests – families and single visitors alike. An evening out can be a culinary treat from a wide range of oriental and international cuisines, a cultural event such as a play, a lecture, a concert or an art exhibition, or it can simply be a show at a movie theatre or an evening at gaming centre or an Arabic coffee shop where the traditional shisha (hookah or hubbly-bubbly) is served. Shopping malls, which remain open till 22:00 or 23:00, are a main attraction for many of Abu Dhabi residents and visitors, not only for the rich shopping experience – or the equally exciting window-shopping – but for the variety of outlets and services found in these malls. The UAE nightclubs in Abu Dhabi are mostly found inside the major Abu Dhabi hotels where alcohol licenses are freely distributed. <br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Things to do:<br /></strong><br />Abu Dhabi has one of the world’s most well-maintained beaches, resorts and parks, with year-round sunshine to boot. There is no shortage of world-class golf courses or challenging water sports. Neither will you lack finding a comforting spa or beauty salon before preparing for a night on the town, for some serious shopping, for a movie or fancy dinner and some entertainment. Lastly do not miss out exploring the desert dunes or the Abu Dhabi Corniche for a most unforgettable experience that is truly unique in Abu Dhabi.<br /> <br />To make the most of your limited stay in our emirate, you might wish to check our recommendations for outdoor and indoor activities during your stay.<br />Visitors should note, however, that certain daytime activities maybe limited during Ramadan due to the prohibition of public consumption of food and beverages during daylight. Furthermore, live entertainment in clubs and restaurants in the evenings are discontinued during Ramadan.<br /><br /><br /></span></span></p>', 1, 23),

She is a type of immortality. Damascus has seen all that ever occurred on earth and still she lives. She has looked upon the dry bones of a thousand empires, and will see the tombs of a thousand more before she dies."<br />The city could be viewed from Mount Kassioun which dominates the city. The mountain itself has attracted several legends including the belief that here Abraham had the unity of God revealed to him<br /><br /><strong>Damascus - Umayyad Mosque:<br /></strong><br />Lying at the east end of Souk al Hamidiyeh, it is a place of magnificent beauty. This site has been marked by sacred enclosures as far back as the second millennium BC.<br />This cult center was first used as a temple (9th century BC) dedicated to the worship of Hadad, who is the Aramean deity representing sun and thunder. Later on, in the 1st century AD, it was taken by the Romans to make it larger Temple of God of the Gods, Jupiter. <br />When the Roman capital moved from Rome to Constantinople in 330, Christianity began to spread in the empire and was soon considered the official religion. It was then that the Emperor Theodosius (ruled 193 - 211) abolished pagan worship and made it the cathedral of the city, thus it was dedicated to John the Baptist.<br />With the taking of Damascus by the Arabs in 636, Christians were generally allowed to continue to use their churches and Muslims were settled in new areas of the city. During the first 70 years, the Muslims had built a mud brick structure against the southern wall so that they could pray. Afterwards, Christians became few and Muslims were increasing, so it was changed into a mosque under the rule of the Caliph al-Walid (ruled 705 - 715). The renovation work was done by Architects from Constantinople, Egypt, and Damascus itself.<br />It now holds the Shrine of John the Baptist''s head, and there are many rumors to explain how it came to be here. One is that Herod sent it to Damascus so that the Romans could be sure of his execution; while another is that when the Arabs took over the church, John the Baptist''s blood bubbled and when the church was being demolished his head was found underneath it with skin and hair.<br />The plan of the mosque is quite simple; there is a magnificent courtyard which is heavily decorated by mosaics. In the middle of the courtyard are the Dome of the hours, the ablutions fountain and the beautifully decorated Dome of the treasure.<br />This mosque is one of the few mosques that has three minarets, Minaret of the Bride (9th and 12th centuries), Minaret of Qayetbey (15th century), and the Minaret of Issa (Jesus) (13th century).<br /><br /><strong>Damascus - Citadel:</strong><br /><br />Given its setting on flat ground, hemmed in by cluttered urban surrounds, the fortifications never presented the same forbidding front. This citadel stands at the northwest corner of the Old City. It is much smaller than that of Aleppo, and is the only citadel in Syria that is on the same level as the rest of the city.<br />The Roman cast rum or camp was here. Still, there''s no firm evidence it was used as military base in Roman times. Most of the construction is from the Ayyūbid and Mameluke periods but heavy use since then has not been kind to the fabric. The Sultan al Adel used this fortification to preserve Damascus (1207) against the Crusaders and Mongols in the 13th century. Then Damascus had become the key center of Arab resistance to the Crusader presence, a role built up particularly under the leadership of Saladin (1176 - 93).<br />In 1260, however, it was destroyed by the first Mongol invasion. It was rebuilt by the Mameluke Sultan Baybars, who made sure that the original 16 towers and walls were rebuilt. However, it was to be heavily knocked down by the second Mongol invasion in 1400 by Timurlenk (Tamerlane). The Ottomans did not really pay much attention to it and it was only slightly repaired, though they used it as military base.<br />The citadel was only abandoned as a prison in 1985.<br />At the present it''s under heavy reconstructions and excavation work, which will hopefully uncover its mysterious history.<br /><br /><strong>Damascus - Souks:<br /></strong><br /><strong>Souk Al Hamidieh:<br /></strong><br />Most of the souk is arched over with high iron ribs with corrugated metal. This bazaar has been rebuilt several times, most recently in the 13th century. It is built on the site of an ancient Roman fortress. Some of these remains can still be seen as you walk through the souk. It has an entrance to one of the most remarkable Islamic institutions in Damascus, the Maristan Nūr al-Din (Hospital of Nūr al-Din).<br />The Hamidiyeh is a souk for general goods where a lot of souvenirs can be bought. Women''s clothing (gallabiyas), gold lame toreador pants, nargilehs (hubble-bubble pipes), jewelry, chessboards and inlaid mosaic boxes are the most popular among tourists.<br />It''s still alive maintaining its purpose and continuing to be a great place for souvenir shopping.<br /><br /><strong>Souk Midhat Pasha:<br /></strong><br />This souk (known as Suq al Taweel - in Roman, Via Recta) was the main link between east and west Damascus. It is parallel to Souk al-Hamidiyeh and runs from Bab Sharki (Eastern Gate) to Bab al-Jabieh (Gate of the Water Trough). This is where the Roman gate of Jupiter once stood. When it was taken over by the Greeks and Alexander the Great, the "old city" was re-designed into the Hippodamian grid pattern, following the ideas of Hippodamus. Under Roman rule, Via Recta was widened and became a colonnaded thoroughfare. These columns are still recognizable at the moment.<br />The Mosque of Hisham (built in 1427), with fine stalactite design, is a bit further on. On the eastern side (Bab Sharki) you will find a Roman arch, which was found by workmen under the French Mandate.<br />The Greek Orthodox Patriarchal church of Virgin Mary is to the north of the arch, this piece of land has been the site of a church going as far back as the Byzantine Empire. This area is the Christian quarter of Damascus, where Christians were allowed to have their churches during the Arab invasions.<br />It was rebuilt in 1878 by the governor of Damascus, Midhat Pasha. The most interesting vestige in this souk is the Arabic style house known as Maktab Anbar.<br /><br /><strong>Souk Al Harir (Silk Bazaar)<br /></strong><br />This souk which is situated near the Umayyad mosque was built by Darwish Pasha in 1574. It joins Al Hamidiyeh suq on one side and souk al Khayateen (tailors bazaar) on the other. In this souk is also Madrasa Jaqmaqiye (the Museum of Arabic Epigraphy) built in 1418 - 20 by the Mameluke governor of Damascus, Jaqmaq al Argunsaei, who later became Sultan of Cairo in 1438 - 52. The mausoleum of Nūr al Din Zengi is located between these two Souks. It was originally housed in Madrasa Aziziye which has disappeared in most, leaving an isolated arch and the burial chamber.<br /><br /><strong>Souk Al Bzouriyeh (Spices Bazaar)<br /></strong><br />This is the souk that extends from souk Midhat Pasha to the Azem palace. It is famous for its small spice and soap shops and for the al- Nūri bath - one of the few baths remaining from the 12th century. There is also Khan Assaad Pasha in the souk.<br /><br /><strong>Damascus - Azem Palace and Khans:<br /></strong><br />This old palace goes back to show us the Ottoman residences of Damascus. The Azem Palace was built in the 18th century as a palatial residence for Assaad Pasha al-Azem, Ottoman governor of Damascus for 14 years. It is considered a great example of Damascene houses. The governor had diverted the waters of Barada to his gardens and summoned most carpenters and masons in Damascus. He also ordered for Roman columns from Bosra to be brought in along with the ancient paving of Banyas.<br />It is divided into separate quarters, one for the kitchens, one for the haremlek (women section), where the governor''s family used to live in private, and the third was the selamlek where the governor and other male members of the family would receive guests and conduct their business. Along the south side of the selamlek is a liwan that is very deep into the wall to free it from sunlight during the day. Next to this liwan is a room where the governor would receive his guests, there is a beautiful fountain at the center of its marble floor. The selamlek is, for the most part, used as the Museum of Popular Arts and Tradition. Each room is designed and decorated to show you some of the typical Damascene traditions, including preparation for Hajj and preparation for marriage.<br />It covers the main concentration of traditional khans - the warehouses for the receiving, storing and sending of trade goods and the provision of accommodation to traders.<br />The palace is surrounded with many Khans such as Khan al-Gumruk, Kan al-Haramain, Hammam al-Qishani, Hammam Nūr al-Din, Khan al-Harir and Khan Assaad Pasha.<br /><br /><strong>Damascus - National Museum:<br /></strong><br />The National Museum of Damascus is one of the world''s great collections of archaeological and historical material.<br />The museum was founded in 1919 and was originally set up, along with the Arab Academy, in the Madrasa al-Adeliye. In 1936, the east wing of the present complex was built. From 1936 to 1952, the building''s entrance was embellished by the reconstructions of the gateway from Qasr al-Heir West, an Umayyad desert palace of the eighth century. <br />It would be impossible to do it justice in a few words. This museum contains a world-class archaeological and historical collection. The archaeological and historical collections of the Museum are arranged in four Departments: Pre-historic, Ancient Syria, Classical and Arab Islamic Antiquities. Later a Contemporary Art Department was opened.<br />The façade of this museum comprises two semi-cylindrical towers enclosing a rectangular portal, the latter surmounted by a large blank Syrian arch, familiar in the local repertoire for several centuries.<br />It contains rooms devoted to Ras Shamra (Ugarit) with small clay tablets of what is known to be the oldest Alphabet in the world, the Ugaritic Alphabet. It also contains the ivory head of an unknown prince, a collection of cylinder seals, and Mycenaean pottery imported from Greece. Another room is devoted to Mari, the Bronze Age sight on the Euphrates. Here one will find the 3rd Millennium treasure of King Cansud. Further on, you will find a room concentrating on finds from Raqqa, the Abbassid city on the Euphrates. Another hall contains Islamic jewelry, coins and armor, and the final hall in the Byzantine and Islamic Departments is the Damascus Salon, a wood-and-marble paneled room from an 18th-century palace.<br />As for the other two Departments, there are a few rooms exhibiting pottery, sculptures and glassware ranging from the Phoenicians to the classical periods. There are rooms concentrating on the Hauran and Jebel al Arab, where most objects are made of Basalt. Another hall contains classical statues carved in ivory, bronze, and marble, which were found at Palmyra. Further on lies the Palmyra room and adjacent to that is the Dora Europos room.<br />The most popular part of the museum is the 2nd century AD Synagogue that has been reconstructed. Its walls are covered with Talmudic injunctions and paintings of human figures that are in scenes from the Scriptures.<br /><br /><strong>Damascus - The Tekkiye Mosque Complex:<br /></strong><br />East of the National Museum, and just over a kilometer west of the Old City lies the Tekkiye mosque complex. The complex was intended to service the great annual pilgrimage to Mecca whose custody was one of the most important duties of the Governor of the vilayat (provinces) of Damascus and the income from which was one of the city''s major sources of prosperity.<br />The complex was built on the site of Qasr al Ablaq, a Mameluke palace built by Baybars. It was built at the order of Suleiman the Magnificent (the Great Sultan Suleiman I), was planned by the Architect Sinan and was built mostly by Christian masons and architects who had converted to Islam.<br /><br />The complex consists of three main parts:<br /><br />- The mosque itself is the finest Ottoman monument in the city.<br />- The buildings that surround the mosque''s courtyard were also built and planned by Sinan. They were built also as accommodation for the Dervishes, who are known for their religious chants and whirling. It was used later as a khan to house pilgrims who were on their way to Mecca.<br />- On the east side is a Koraanic School called the Selimiye Madrasa, which was added under Suleimans successor, Sultan Selim II between 1566 and 1574 (a decade after the Tekkiye and it''s not Sinan''s work). The prayer room of the Madrasa is still used as a school to teach Koran. The buildings round the school are currently being used by craftsmen, who sell products such as glass, copper, jewelry, inlaid boxes and carpets.<br />East of the Tekkiye complex lies the Military Museum, this houses old weaponry and combat tools. This weaponry ranges from 13th century weapons used against the Crusaders and Mongols to modern Russian weaponry.<br /><br /><strong> The Straight Street / Via Recta (modern Souk Bab Touma):<br /></strong><br />Straight street or in Roman, Via Recta, was the main link between east and west Damascus. When it was taken over by the Greeks and Alexander the Great, the "old city" was redesigned into the Hippodamian grid pattern, following the ideas of Hippodamus. This reflected the Greek sense of order. Under Roman rule, Via Recta was widened and became a colonnaded thoroughfare. These columns are still recognizable at the moment.<br />Starting from the western section of this Street you will be passing through the Arab Gate of the Water Trough, Bab al-Jabiye. This is where the Roman gate of Jupiter once stood. The Mosque of Hisham (built in 1427), with fine stalactite design, is a bit further on. It is believed that the theatre built by Herod the Great in the 1st century BC was in this area. Going further into the covered section of the street you will find two khans (Khan Djaqmaq, and Khan al-Zait), the former is a Mameluke structure built in 1420, the latter was originally a caravanserai for olive oil.<br />On the eastern side you will find a Roman arch, which was found by workmen under the French Mandate. It is thought to have been part of a 3rd century AD Tetrapylon at the intersection of the Via Recta. The Greek Orthodox Patriarchal church of Virgin Mary is to the north of the arch, this piece of land has been the site of a church going as far back as the Byzantine Empire.<br />This area is the Christian quarter of Damascus, where Christians were allowed to have their churches during the Arab invasions. To the south is the Jewish quarter (although Christians now mostly inhabit it). Further on lies St. Paul''s chapel, which is where St. Paul fled by being dropped in a basket through a window in the wall. The end of Straight Street is where Bab Sharki lies, the Roman gate of the Sun.<br /><br />The House of Hananiya is nearby. Hananiya is the one who restored Paul''s sight in Acts 9:17.<br /><br /><strong>Old Churches:<br /></strong><br /><strong>St. Paul''s Church:<br /></strong><br />It commemorates the memory of St. Paul, whose name was Saul of Tarsus, charged by the Romans to persecute the Christians. As he approached the village of Daraya, a burst of blinding light took his sight away, and he heard Jesus Christ ask him "Saul, why do you persecute me? This was a vision of faith.<br />He was taken unconscious to Damascus, attended by Hananiya, Christ''s disciple, and became one of the staunchest advocates of Christianity. His Jewish peers decided to kill him, but he hid in a house by the city wall. The church is located at the site of his escape. He traveled to Antioch, Athens, and Rome, after a brief stay in Jerusalem, and continued to teach the gospel until he died.<br /> <br /><strong>St. Ananias'' Church:<br /></strong><br />Ananias was a disciple of Jesus, and is traditionally listed as one of the Seventy Disciples whose mission is recorded in Luke 10. He also was the man reported in the Bible to have been sent by God to heal Paul''s blindness and join him with the Church. He restored his eye-sight and baptized him. He became the first bishop of Damascus, and was stoned to death in 40.<br /> <br /><strong>Al Maryamieh; </strong>the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch and the entire East:<br /><br />The seat of the patriarchate was formerly in Antioch, in what is now Turkey. Now it is in Damascus, Syria, located on the "street called Straight." The current patriarch is His Beatitude Patriarch Ignatius IV (Hazim) of Antioch and the entire East<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;"><strong>M<a name="Maaloula"></a>AALOULA<br /><br /></strong>50 km north of Damascus; Maaloula is situated at an altitude of more than 1500 meters. By far, the most important Christian site in Syria is the magnificent village of Maaloula. The word Maaloula means entrance in Aramaic, probably referring to the gorge in between the mountains. Maaloula is the one of the few remaining villages in the world that still speak Aramaic, the language of Jesus Christ. <br />Though rich in historical and religious associations, Maaloula preserves only a few remains of its past. It is, however, a village of some charm, its tempered houses piled up on the lower slopes of an escarpment rising sheer above the village. There is an uncompromising beauty to the setting and the gorge that cuts into the escarpment at the back.<br />Maaloula has three claims to fame; its setting; its early Christian associations; and the resistance of the villagers to the final replacement of Aramaic by Arabic as the language of communication. There may be some doubt about the extent to which Aramaic, the language spoken by Christ and the popular lingua franca of the area until the Arab conquest in the seventh century, has remained in active use to the present day. However, even the vestigial survival of West Aramaic (Syriac) as a spoken tongue indicates the tenacity with which the inhabitants of Maaloula have clung to their identity.<br /><br /><strong>St. Sergious Chapel<br /><br /></strong>There are two chapels above the village whose loyalty is divided between the Greek Catholic and the Orthodox churches. The first chapel, which is of the Greek Catholics, is on the escarpment left of the gorge; the St. Sergious convent (Mar Sarkis). This tiny chapel, probably built on the site of a pagan temple, has architectural elements which go back to Byzantine period and may have been constructed even before the Council of Nicaea in 325; that is evidenced by the fact that it has a round altar, which was prohibited at the Council. Mar Sarkis is designed after the pattern of the martyrion (a shrine dedicated to a martyr) and is dedicated to Mar Sarkis (St. Sergious), a Roman soldier who was executed for his Christian beliefs (Sergious has a grander basilica in Rasafeh, Syria). It has a beautiful display of icons on the entrance to the altar; they date back to the 13th to 18th centuries, including one of the Virgin Mary and another of the martyrs Sergious and Bacchus. This chapel is considered one of the oldest, if not the oldest, in Christendom. On the plateau behind the church, there are also remains of ancient rock-cut tombs.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;"><strong>St. Thecla Monastery<br /><br /></strong>Downward into the village, on the right of the gorge, is the other chapel, a Greek Orthodox institution dedicated to St Thecla (Mar Takla), it''s located in the lower monastery. Thecla was the daughter of a Seleucid prince and a young disciple of St. Paul whose dramatic life story is told in the apocryphal, and possibly legendary, Acts of Paul and Thecla. She is believed to be buried in the mountain just above the monastery. On the road that leaves the village; look for a steep path on the right that leads to a terrace where a small waterfall welcomes the pilgrims. The building was constructed on several levels. On the top floor is a modern church with a dome and a cave into which filters water with miraculous properties. This religious monument receives an unending stream of Christian and Muslim pilgrims. Other religious relics can be found in the convent but what strikes one most is the peaceful atmosphere of the place.<br /><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;"><strong>SE<a name="Seidnaya"></a>IDNAYA</strong> <br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">27 km north of Damascus; Seidnaya is more notable as a place of religious pilgrimage than for any outstanding remains. In fact, few reminders of its origins can be distilled from centuries of legends.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;"><strong>The Lady Virgin Monastery<br /><br /></strong>The chapel and convent is perched on an outcrop of rock. The monastery was founded in 547 AD. According to legend, the Virgin Mary appeared to Emperor Justinian first as a beautiful gazelle and then as an icon; she then asked him to found the monastery in her honor, even providing the plan of the building. The miracles associated with the image of the Virgin brought the chapel wide fame particularly during and after the middle age. It became the most famous center for pilgrimage in the east, after Jerusalem. Even in times of open hostility between the Franks in Jerusalem and the Muslims of Damascus, Christian pilgrims reached Seidnaya.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;"><strong>B<a name="Bosra"></a>OSRA<br /><br /></strong>140 km south of Damascus, to be more specific, south of Suweida we see Bosra, which is, after Palmyra, the most important site of the Roman period in Syria, primarily because of the magnificent and exceptionally intact Roman theatre (early 2nd century AD).<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">In Roman times, the ecology was different and the Hauran was one of the granaries of the Empire. Its sudden rise to prosperity as the Pax Romana took hold in the first century AD is reflected in the ambitious scale of the civic re-planning later in the century. The town of Bosra, however, had played role in earlier periods. An Early Bronze Age settlement, it is mentioned in Egyptian 18th dynasty records as Bosrana. It became part of the Seleucid domains after Alexander''s conquests and was seized by Judas Maccabeus in 163 BC. When the Nabataean Kingdom rose to local prominence in the first century BC, Bosra came within the northern reaches of their control though it was later the object of Herodian ambitions from Palestine. From AD 70 to 106, in the final stages of the Nabataean Kingdom, Bosra was made the capital.<br /><br /><strong>SHA<a name="Shahba"></a>HBA<br /></strong><br />This site shares Bosra the importance of all Roman sites all over Syria. 87 km south of Damascus, between the volcanic region of Ledja to the west and Jebel al-Arab to the south east we see Shahba. A Curious town that is, from an archaeological point of view, the only town in the Roman Hauran - apart from the capital, Bosra - built to a grid pattern, and the walls are broadly oriented towards the cardinal points of the compass. It is also the only "new town" in Syria established according to a purely Roman plan (the others being Hellenistic, Nabataean or Pre-Hellenistic in origin and modified by Romans). The architectural style adopted in Shahba was not found elsewhere in the Hauran which largely lacks buildings of the mid third century.<br /><br /><strong>D<a name="Deir Mar Mousa"></a>EIR MAR MOUSA<br /><br /></strong>The ancient Syrian monastery of St. Moses the Abyssinian (Deir Mar Musa el-Habashi) overlooks a harsh valley in the mountains east of the small town of Nabk, 80 km north of Damascus. It is about 1320 meters above sea level.<br />The church of the monastery was built in 1058 AD. It is a square of about 10*10-meters and divided into two sections. The larger section is a nave, with two aisles, illuminated by a high eastern window. The second section is the sanctuary containing the altar and the apse; it is separated from the rest of the church by a stone and wooden chancel screen.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">To date, three layers of frescoes have been revealed in the church. The first layer is from the middle of the 11th century AD, the second from the end of the 11th century, and the third from the end of the 12th or the beginning of the 13th century.<br /><br /><strong>Q<a name="Qanawat"></a>ANAWAT<br /></strong><br />100 km south east of Damascus is a site of considerable interest. Its first historical mention dates to the reign of Herod the Great around the first century BC when Nabatean Arab forces inflicted a humiliating defeat in the Jewish forces. <br />From Pompey''s time until the period of Trajan, it was listed as one of the cities of the Decapolis, a loose federation allowed by the Romans to retain some degree of civic autonomy. Incorporated into the province of Syria (1st century), it was titled Septima Canatha by Septimus Severus and transferred to the province of Arabia at end of the second century. Christianity flourished in the fourth and fifth centuries and it became the seat of the bishop. The town fell to the Arabs in 637, after Damascus'' capture, and then declined. It was virtually deserted by the mid 19th century.<br />Most of the ruins belong to the Christian period, especially the renovated parts of the buildings and the additions that have been made. We can see that the column decorations, that are surrounding the platform of the sun god Helios'' temple, are rich as in the Baalbek/Palmyra tradition<br /></span></p>\r\n<p><a href="../en/pages/Qanawat+Syria/85/38"></a><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;"> </span></p>', 1, 26);

Homs site is also determined by the Orontes River which flows through the city. Today it is a key point in the Syrian road and rail networks and the base for several major industries.<br /><br /><strong>The Great Mosque al Nūri:</strong><br /><br />It is a vas rectangular building with an oblong courtyard, oriented east/west, it lies on what was probably the site of the pagan sun temple and the later Church of St John.<br /><br /><strong>Old Churches:</strong><br /><br /><strong>- Church of al Zunnar (the church of the Virgin''s belt):<br /></strong><br />the curious name derives from the discovery under the church''s altar in 1953 of a textile belt said to have belonged to the Virgin. The belt is believed to have been placed in the first church on this spot in the late forth century. Most of the present church''s structure dates from the last 100 years.<br /><br /><strong>- Church of St Elian:<br /></strong><br />it is more interesting the frescoes found in this church. Church of St Elian is dedicated to the son of a Roman officer from Emesa martyred at the end of the third century for refusing to renounce Christianity. The martyrium at the end of right hand nave is the burial place of St Elian and other saints and houses a remarkable set of mural paintings of the 12th century and earlier which were discovered in 1970. The church is still a pilgrimage center due to the miracles associated with St Elian and its renewed fame has resulted in an expansion and redecoration of the main nave. The modern painted frescoes are devoted to the life of St Elian.<br /><br /><br /><strong>Mosque of Khaled Ibn al Walid:</strong><br /><br />The mosque, completely rebuilt in the late Turkish period (1908 - 13), is on a site dating back to Ayyūbid times and contains the reputed tomb of one of the early followers of Muhammed, Khaled Ibn al Walid, whose military campaigns in Syria led to the Islamic conquest. He died in 642; his exploits have been eclipsed by his sworn enemy, the Caliph Umar.<br /><br /><strong>H<a name="Hama"></a>AMA</strong><br /><br />47 km north of Homs, 209 km north from Damascus lies Hama that, in the past, enjoyed a reputation as one of the more charming of the Syrian towns, more successful than most in making of its environment a pleasant and picturesque setting through the use of the Orontes as the city''s lungs and cooling device.<br /><br /><strong>The Norias<br /></strong><br />The town has 17 norias in the center of town, in the Orontes pushing water when it''s weakly flowing. The great wheels, up to 20 m in diameter, were designed to raise water from the Orontes. The river''s flow is channeled by a dam into a sluice which drives the wheel. This raises the wheel''s wooden box devices that trap water and discharge it at the top of its rotation into towers at the side. From the towers, the water flowed through stone aqueducts into the town or surrounding agricultural areas, each consumer being allocated a portion of the flow over a period of time. Hama specialized in these devices since the Byzantine times. The largest example is the central group named al-Mamuriye and dates from 1453 (Mamelukes period). <br /><br /><strong>The Museum<br /></strong><br />Watching the museum will be educating because of its contents, Bronze Ages and Iron Age through to the Ayyūbid and Mameluke periods. This museum is housed in the Hama Beit Azem (Azem Palace), the 18th century mansion of a former wali (governor) of Hama, Assaad Pasha al-Azem (1705 - 57, wali of Hama pre-1742 and of Damascus in 1743 - 57). The collection of objects is displayed in a number of rooms in addition to the Roman and Christian remains found in the lower courtyard. Particularly worthy of note is the mosaic of Mariamin (west of Homs, in the edge of the Jebel Ansariye). The work is from the last quarter of the 4th century.<br /><br /><strong>A<a name="Apamea"></a>PAMEA <br /></strong><br />55 km north of Hama; from Apamea, nestled on the east side of the Orontes Plain before the green starts to fade towards the desert to the east, you look out on a stunning sight, over the rich farmlands reclaimed from swamp towards the hazy skein of the Jebel Ansariye to the west.<br /><br />Apamea remained a center of considerable importance into the Byzantine period when it became a base for adherents of the Monophysite (heresy). It was made the capital of Syria Secunda province in the early 5th century and was the seat of a Bishop. The Persians sacked and burnt the city in 573 during the troubled century which also saw a succession of major earthquakes. The Byzantines "liberation" then came just in time to see its fall to the Arabs a decade later.<br /><br /><strong>PAL<a name="Palmyra"></a>MYRA </strong><br /><br /></p>\r\n<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">In the central Syrian Desert, 235 km north east of Damascus; Palmyra is one of the great sites of the ancient world. The remains of this oasis city seem suspended in time in this harsh desert environment. An elusive and highly romanticized goal of European travelers over the centuries, even today a visit to Palmyra is an experience which alone makes the trip to Syria worthwhile.<br /><br /><strong>Temple of Baal-Shamin:</strong> (lord of the Heavens in the Semitic pantheon responsible for rain and thus fecundity). The first work in the temple dates from the early 1st century AD, and many adjustments has been made since then and kept improving till the 3rd century AD under the rule of Othenadus.<br /><br /><strong>Temple of Bel</strong>: This stands in an enormous compound (205m by 210m) at the East end of the main colonnaded street. The temple is certainly the most important religious building of the 1st century AD in the Middle East and is one of few to survive. The complex was built in several stages.<br /><br /><strong>Nabu (Nebo) Temple:</strong> Just after the monumental entrance arch of the colonnaded street to the west, the temple of Nabo measures 20m by 3m with bases of the surrounding colonnade, forming a trapezoid. The plan is basically Eastern in inspiration, and the scale is much smaller than that of the Bel temple. Nebo was a Mesopotamian god of wisdom and oracles, equated with the classical god Apollo, which dates the temple to the last quarter of the 1st century Ad, with work continuing on the surrounding complex until the 3rd century.<br /><br /><strong>Zenobia Baths:</strong> On the right of the colonnaded street, by four monolith columns from Egypt, with red granite jutting from the line of arcading. The baths (which existed for almost a century before being provided with a more sumptuous entry attributed to Emperor Diocletian) have an outline which can be traced in the foundations, including the surviving columns of the atrium style.<br /><br /><strong>The Folklore Museum:</strong> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">The Popular Museum of Folklore is located in an Ottoman Khan close to the Bel Temple, with a great many pieces of Palmyra folklore. There one can find a Bedouin tent with carpets made of wool used in decorating the walls and the ground. In addition to that we can clearly see all materials related to the preparation of Arabic coffee, for example the coffee kettle and an Arabic musician''s tools called the Mehbaj. Finally, one comes to the hall of the museum, with traditional weaponry used in the past, belonging to many historical ages, but particularly relating to the Islamic age, such as swords and helmets.<br /><br /><strong>The Colonnaded Street:</strong> serves as the main axis of the Roman city running 1.2 km approximately north west/south east in its orientation. It holds the monumental arch, an achievement of considerable architectural interest. Just after the arch you''ll see Temple of Nebo or Nabu. At the end of the colonnaded street there are the Roman shops and the camp of Diocletian.<br /><br /><strong>The Theater: </strong>gave little hint that it was once in the same league as several other major examples in Syria (Apamea, Bosra, Cyrrhus) in terms of size. The theatre dates to the first half of the 2nd century Ad, with the usual facilities for crowd handling and rooms for the actors. The theatre has been restored up to ninth row of seating. The central doorway is set in a half-oval instead of the usual half-circular exedra and there are five doorways leading behind the stage instead of the usual three.<br /><br /><strong>The Agora:</strong> Located to the west of the theatre, this large rectangular (48m by 71m) enclosure dates from the first part of the 2nd century AD and has been extensively restored since its excavation in 1939-40. The open space was surrounded on four sides by columned porticos, and the walls decorated with windows with richly decorated triangular pediments. The usual statues of local dignitaries are found on the columns and walls (200 in total in this space). The doorway to the Tarrif Court to the east was known as the Senators` gate and was decorated with statues of the family of Emperor Septimus Severus (Emperor 193-211).<br /><br /><br /><strong>The Tetrapylon:</strong> At the end of the Colonnaded Street stood the four of sets of four columns which mark the major crossing point, in an oval place. Reconstructed by the Syrian Antiquities Department from 1939, this comprises a stepped platform on which are the columns, each standing on a plinth and topped by an entablature. Statues originally stood in each of the groupings. The columns were of pink granite from Aswan in Egypt but only one has survived. The modern reconstruction is based on compounded concrete substitutes.<br /><br /><strong>Valley of the Tombs:</strong> Palmyrene tower tombs are located in a valley that is named after them (valley of tombs), they are in 3 types of the underground chamber "hypogeum", the combination of "hypogeum" and tower and a house or temple tombs (also called tower tombs). The Valley of the Tombs spreads west from Jebel Husseiniye behind Diocletian''s camp and stretches 1 km down a barren and forbidding valley. It is an eerie sight at the best of time, even more so under moonlight or at first or last light. There are the underground tombs to the northern slopes of the hill. To the south of Jebel Husseiniye is a group of tower tombs spread out along the edge of the valley. To their east we find Tower Tomb of Kithoth, built <br />in AD 40 and standing 10 m high. A relief of a burial feast carved into a niche of the eastern façade is the earliest example found at Palmyra and shows the Parthian rigidity of style later softened by Roman techniques. The most prominent of the tombs along the slopes of Umm al-Belqis, another hill near the Jebel Husseiniye, is the Tower Tomb of Iamliku (Yeliku AD 83), a handsome and imposing family tomb on the right of this grouping. Another group of tower tombs called Tower Tomb f Ellabel and his three brothers.<br /><br /><strong>CR<a name="crac des chevaliers"></a>AC DES CHEVALIERS<br /></strong><br />41 km west of Homs; as the Parthenon is to Greek temples, so is the Krak des Chevaliers to medieval castles, the supreme example, one of the great buildings of all times. Many superlatives have been spent on this monument but few do it full justice. No matter how many times you visit the great fortress, it never presents the same face.<br /><br />The Crac is certainly the supreme example of Crusader castle building, showing the full flowering of the Hospitables'' style which went far beyond the stolid adaptations of Byzantine models that had previously influenced the castles of the first half of the 12th century.</span></p>', 1, 27),

However, the earliest remains that have been uncovered only go back as far as the 10th century BC when the Neo Hittites raised a temple on this site. Later it was said that Abraham milked his cow there. It became a citadel under the Seleucids, 4th - 1st centuries BC. During the Ayyūbid reign in Syria, Saladin''s son, Ghazi, used it as both residence and fortress and it suffered from the Mongol invasions in 1269 and 1400.<br /><br /><strong>Aleppo Great Mosque: </strong><br /><br />The popular attribution of this building to the Umayyad applies only to its basic plan and not to any of the present fabric.

The Aleppo souk, unlike the Damascus one, is covered by stone archways for about 30km. This makes it the longest covered souk in the Middle East.

The first hall exhibits statues and cuneiform slates from Mari in the Bronze Age, including some pieces discovered by Agatha Christie''s husband, Max Mallowan, at the site of Tell Brak (Tell Khouwayra).

It has been connected to the national rail and road grid and the expansion of the city has robbed it of much of its sleepy charm as a small Mediterranean fishing port with its roots firmly planted in the past. The old city retains some of its character and the former Cathedral of Our Lady of Tortosa is one of the most remarkable surviving remains of the religious architecture of the Crusaders outside Jerusalem<br /> <br /><strong>UG<a name="Ugarit"></a>ARIT (Ras al-Sharma): </strong><br /><br />About 10 - 13 km north of Lattakia; Ugarit has given the world its first alphabet and stood as a very important, brave city of the Phoenicians.

It is the only extant site in Syria whose remains, though fragmentary, convey this mixture of civilizations, reflecting the ability of the Phoenicians to absorb and syncretise outside influences.

While its defenses are less intact than studied symmetry of the Crac des Chevaliers and it is less somber and brooding in its aspect than Marqab, this is an example of Crusader castle-building at its most romantic. The castle represents the flamboyance of the Crusader enterprise - perhaps folly is a better word - in a raw and beautiful location, softened today by the peaceful setting and on a spring day, the profusion of wildflowers that cover the scene.<br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>S<a name="Safita"></a>AFITA<br /></strong><br />30 km from Tartous; Safita is one of the most picturesque towns in Syria, set in beautiful orchard and olive-growing country dotted with historic sites.

The building of the first castle probably dates from that time. In 1167 – 1171, Nūr al-Din took advantage of Crusader unpreparedness, occupying Tartous, destroying Areimeh and largely demolishing the first version of the Safita fortress, partly out of anger at Crusader piracy against Egyptian merchant ships.<br /><br /></span></span></p>', 1, 29),

The finds in Mari have given large contributions to the unraveling of the history of Syria/Mesopotamia region during the early millennia of recorded history. Its excavation rested for many years in the hands of the French archaeologist, Andre Parrot, who supervised the excavations from 1933 to 1974; a remarkable record.

It is located in the north of the country.<br /><br /><strong>Umm Al Quwain Fort <br /></strong><br />A fort which was once home to the emirate’s ruler and guarded the entrance to the old town, overseeing the sea on one side and the creek on the other. It eventually became a police station then a museum. The museum now houses artifacts found at important nearby sites including Al-Dour and houses a collection of weapons that were used through the emirate''s history. <br /><br /><strong>Old Harbor</strong><br /> <br />An old harbor located in the old town overlooking the traditional dhow building yard where skilled craftsmen continue to assemble these traditional boats. The harbor is surrounded by old coral stone houses that display features of the original architecture and intricate sculptured plaster work. <br /><br /><strong>Islands of Umm Al Quwain</strong><br /><br />Islands that lie to the east of the mainland peninsula on a unique stretch of coastline consisting of sandy islands surrounded by dense mangrove forests, separated by a series of creeks. The largest of the seven islands is Al Sinniyah, followed by Jazirat Al Ghallah and Al Keabe, all of which are visible from the old town. Tucked in between these and the coastal plains are the smaller islands of Al Sow, Al Qaram, Al Humaidi, Al Chewria and Al Harmala. The Madaar creek that runs between the islands provides a navigable waterway for fisherman even at low tide when the average depth is less than a few feet. <br /><br /><strong>Al-Dour<br /></strong><br />Located roughly where the town of Umm Al Quwain is now, it is considered the largest pre-Islamic site on the Gulf coast. Al-Dour was an important trading port from about 200 BC to 200 AD. Thousands of graves are found among the houses of Al-Dour. In some cases the larger tombs contained the remains of more than one individual, perhaps a family. There are two public monuments at Al-Dour, a small square fort with round corner towers and a small square temple dedicated to the Semitic sun god Shamash. <br /><br /><strong>Dreamland Aqua Park</strong><br /><br />The largest water park in the UAE is located on the coastline of Umm Al Quwain; about 40 minutes drive from Dubai, with 250,000 square meters expanse of landscaped gardens and over 30 rides, slides, and attractions. The Park is operated all year round with a daily capacity of 5,000 thousand visitors.<br /></span></p>', 1, 37),
