Is it safe in Syria?

By syriaadmin - Posted on 02 July 2008

Yes. Although neighboring countries such as Lebanon and Iraq have suffered violent conflicts in recent years, Syria has been very stable and street crime is low. Having said that we recommend that you review your governments' website and review any travel warnings related to Syria.
