How Many Days in Syria? Suggested Itineraries

"How many days do I need in Syria?" depends on what you want to see. Distances are reasonable, but the honest rule is that your arrival and departure days count. Here are realistic itineraries.

3 days — Damascus & around

• Day 1: Old Damascus — the Umayyad Mosque, the souks, courtyard houses.
• Day 2: Maaloula and the monastery town of Saidnaya.
• Day 3: Bosra or the mountain resorts.

5 days — Damascus + the coast or Aleppo

The three days above, plus two more: either the coast (Latakia and a castle, overnight) or Aleppo (overnight, 4 hours each way).

One week — the balanced trip

Damascus and around, the coast with the castles (Krak des Chevaliers), and Homs and Hama on the way back.

10 days — the wider country

All of the above, plus Aleppo and Palmyra for those who want the desert.

Getting around
