Petra, Palmyra, Baalbek, Byblos the names just seem to roll off the tongue. Indeed, few places in the world offer such an impressive mix of ancient monuments. In Jordan, we explore the desert sands of Wadi Rum, the ancient city of Petra and visit our first Crusader fortress at Shobak. We relax at the Dead Sea and visit the ancient sites at Jerash and Bosra on our way to Damascus. Syria is an absolute delight; with fabulous bazaars in Damascus and Aleppo; splendid ancient cities at Palmyra, Apamea and Ugarit; and amazing Byzantine mosaics at Maarat. At Krak we explore the finest Crusader castle in the world an enchanting fairytale vista. Arriving in Lebanon, we visit Crusader strongholds at Tripoli and Sidon and the charming port town of Byblos, inhabited since 7000BC. Another trip highlight is the immense acropolis at Baalbek before our journey of discovery concludes in cosmopolitan Beirut.
