Here are some of the natural highlights that make Syria such an amazing place to visit:

  1. The Anti-Lebanon mountain range is a stunning sight, with snow-capped peaks soaring above the tree line. The highest point in Syria, Mount Qasioun, is located here.

  1. The Euphrates river flows from Turkey through Syria and into Iraq, making it an important transport route for centuries. The river valley is a beautiful green oasis, home to villages, farms and orchards.
