Syria
Hey Cam,
Syria is quite an interesting place, because it is on the bad guy list of some countries, there are not many tourists so it makes for great place to visit. There are some very ancient places to see, the guidebooks will list them but basically the two large cities of Damascus and Allepo are fascinating if you like history. As for ruins, Palmyra is not to be missed. Castles - Crac de Chevellier. The situation in Lebanon clearly bears watching. Enjoy.
