Tourism To Syria

Syria!

Along with Iraq, considered to be the cradle of civilization. A small country packed with monuments, ancient antiquities, archaeological sites, mosques, churches, synagogues, and the famous dead cities in the north that call out the glorious history of ancient nations.

Syria has been a meeting point between eastern and western civilizations. Seacoasts, forests, mountains, valleys – all easily reachable. To the good luck of the tourist, Syria is still one of those well kept secrets with an abundance of beautiful and fascinating sites. Foreign visitors are treated with warm hospitality and friendliness.

Passport information:

It's taken a while, but, like many other countries that were previously not easily accessable to foreign visitors, (or at least made visiting difficult), Syria has finally realized both the monetary and the public relations value of tourism. Therefore, they have relaxed their requirements for obtaining a tourist visa to Syria.

Any tourist from the U.S., Canada, and most European countries can obtain a visa to Syria at the border . If you are not sure if your nationality applies, contact us and we will check for you. There are simply two conditions for obtaining the visa:

1. You must have made hotel arrangements in Syria in advance and have a voucher from a Syrian travel agent in hand (GME TOURISM and any travel agency can arrange this for you)

2. If there is any evidence in your passport that you have visited Israel, you will be denied a visa to Syria.This means that you cannot have an Israeli stamp in your passport, and you cannot have any Jordanian or Egyptian stamps that indicate that you crossed overland from Israel into those respective countries (Sheik Hussein, Arava, Taba, Rafah)

One more detail.....the cost of the visa is USD100.00
