Syria by Diana Darke
This ambitious new Bradt guide aims to promote a responsible, non-intrusive kind of tourism by offering visitors more than mere descriptions of sites, hotels and restaurants, stimulating a genuine interest and understanding of the people and their role in modern day Syria. The country possesses some of the most impressive historical sites in the Mediterranean. Damascus and the surrounding area are covered in detail with the Roman caravan city of Palmyra and the Crusader castle of Crac des Chevaliers being just two of the attractions featured in the guide.
Diana Darke first became interested in the Near East when she read Arabic at Oxford. For the last 26 years she has lived, worked and travelled extensively in Turkey and the Arab world, initially with the Foreign Office, then as an Arabic consultant. Work and pleasure have taken her to both sides of Cyprus on many occasions.Murray Stewart has now worked on three successive editions of this guide and has spent considerable time in the region over a period of a decade. In the course of covering every corner of North Cyprus he has built up a network of local contacts specialising in history, nature and eco-tourism in particular.
