PALMYRA The ancient city of Palmyra is located in the Tadmur Oasis in the very heart of the Syrian savannah. Surrounded by arid desert it was once a proud and pulsating trading metropolis and everywhere can be seen relics of a bygone age that was full of myth and mystique. The influence of the legendary oasis city grew due to it having been regarded as a province of Rome. The Romans soon recognized the strategic importance of Palmyra as it was a vital centre of trade in the Near East. Palmyra's fine buildings such as its Amphitheatre were typical of its impressive architecture. Most of the Tetrapylon has been restored. It towers high above the ancient ruins and the Great Colonnade was once the main street of the historic metropolis. Beyond the city walls in the Valley Of Tombs the mystic atmosphere of the former caravan city becomes apparent. Several well preserved mausoleums give the surreal looking desert landscape a truly ghostly atmosphere. The architecture of these multi-floored burial places are unique in the world. The view from the Arabian fortress extends across the picturesque ruins of the city to the endless horizons of the desert. The oasis and ancient remains of Palmyra look almost surreal as if in a dream yet the old ruins and the mighty fortress really do exist in very tangible and resplendent form.This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.

After making it out of the Balkans the worlds worst traveller decided it was time to choose a more peaceful and stable place to take his fortnight off work – and where better than the Middle East?As such the man, who any reasonable country wouldn’t even grant a passport, travelled to Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and Egypt. On this largely pointless journey he visits some of the amazing sights the region has to offer – such as Petra, the Pyramids and the Old City of Damascus, but also gets to meet exciting locals such as the fat Israeli guy who decided he was a threat to the future of the Jewish state. As well as the fake Egyptian policeman and the Syrian bus station attendant he suspected was a member of the secret police (or he might just have been there to mop the floor, hard to say) Author: Tom Burnett Kindle Edition: 101 pages Kindle eBook Company: (2012-01-23) (2012-01-23) List Price: Amazon Price:

Discover Syria and Lebanon. Includes FREE planning and background information. Heading south from Damascus towards the Jordanian border is a region of fertile agricultural land, rolling hills and fruit orchards that gives way to harsh, rocky basalt plains (known as the Hauran) straddling the Syria–Jordan border. The black rock gives the villages and towns a peculiar, brooding quality that is best appreciated at Bosra. With its impressive Roman remains and one of the world’s best-preserved Roman theatres, it’s one of Syria’s highlights and a must-do day trip from Damascus. The intriguing Druze towns of Suweida, Shahba and Qanawat can be visited on the same trip. Suweida has a well-regarded museum while the ruins of Shahba and Qanawat are worth a wander.

John Lewis Burckhardt (1784-1817) was a Swiss explorer who is best remembered for his rediscovery of the ancient city of Petra in modern Jordan. In 1809 he was commissioned by the African Association to discover the source of the River Niger. In preparation for this journey, for which he needed to pass as a Muslim, Burckhardt spent two years exploring and studying Arabic and Islamic law in Aleppo, before travelling widely in Arabia and Egypt. This book provides 'a view of Arabian life and manners in every degree, from the Bedouin camp to the populous city', but the most striking passages describe the ruins of Petra, and especially its sumptuously carved Nabataean tombs. Burckhardt also records his frustration at not being able to explore freely and make notes, but these activities would have laid him open to suspicion of being a spy or an infidel, and almost certain death.Author: John Lewis Burckhardt Paperback: 720 pages Company: Cambridge University Press (2011-06-02) ISBN: 1108069584 List Price: $48.00 Amazon Price: $40.42 Used Price: $117.40

"Brooke Allen's The Other Side of the Mirror is a hugely welcome piece of travel literature… Anyone with a curiosity about this fascinating nation will be well served; anyone with a desire to see Syria for themselves will be inspired." —Tom Bissell Brooke Allen first traveled to Syria in 2009, expecting it to be much as American news media routinely depicted it—an ultra-conservative Muslim society, a rogue nation committed to an anti-American stance. She found, instead, a welcoming and captivating country where she and her family were treated with courtesy and gentleness. She soon returned for a more leisurely trip through Syria's rich historical and archaeological treasures: the ancient cities of Aleppo and Damascus, the great Crusader castles, the Bronze Age ruins of Ebla and Mari, the Greco-Roman cities of Palmyra and Apamea. With her keen and appreciative eye (and ear) Allen introduces us to Syria's people, culture, and history. The Other Side of the Mirror illustrates one traveler's enlightenment, while reflecting on our American ways. For, as she writes, "To visit Syria is to confront the unhappy truth about our media, which is that much of the international news we read or see… serves not as a window looking out at the world but as a mirror: a mirror that reflects our own fears and obsessions and shines them right back at us." "...a nuanced appreciation of the sights, sounds, and historical densities that make Syria one of the most rewarding countries on Earth. Like the great cities of Damascus and Aleppo, The Other Side of the Mirror is a thing of layered beauty and a source of endless surprise and stimulation." —Ben Downing Brooke Allen's critical writings appear frequently in the New York Times Book Review, the Atlantic, and the Nation.
