Palmyra

Palmyra is in the heart of the Syrian desert, and is often described as “ The bride of the desert” Its magnificent remains tell of a heroic history during the reign of Queen Zenobia. 220 Km from Damascus city.

Its strategic location made Palmyra prosper in a well-established kingdom from the 2nd century B.C. A two thousands years old city and crossroad in the middle of the Syrian desert, Palmyra has been famous ever since a female monarch, Queen Zenobia, challenged the Roman emperor Aurlian and dominated lands East of the Mediterranean and Egypt for six years.
The ruins of Palmyra give an idea of the important role this city played at its height; collecting taxes and defending the Eastern border of the Roman Empire from the Persians.
The colonnades, the temples devoted to Bel and Baalshamin, the funeral towers and the Necropolis valley are all definitely worth a visit.
Palmyra stands aside on oasis of palm trees. It offers a dramatic spectacle you will never see elsewhere. A dead piece of earth waiting to be submerged by the sands. And a medieval fortress on top of a hill, gloomy under an infinite blue sky. And at last, a skeleton of a city whitened by a ruthless sun, reminder of a great kingdom, that once dominated the Orient, and is now dead. The sunset of Palmyra is almost unreal. The shadows of the ruins seem to revive the old city every evening.
