NederlandsPrivate trips to Syria
NOTE: at the moment our tours to Syria are suspended due to the security situation.
Syria was once a popular tourist destination in the Middle East. Unfortunately, the civil war brought that to an abrupt halt. Now, traveling to Syria requires careful preparation. While the situation has improved in some areas, it’s still a destination where you cannot go without a plan or on your own. It’s mandatory to travel with a guide, and only the regions controlled by the government are open to tourists. So, keep in mind that you won’t be able to visit the entire country. Fortunately, things are starting to change. Slowly but surely, Syria is getting back on its feet, and the first tourists are returning. During the tour through Syria, you’ll experience the country’s history, culture, and the warm hospitality of its people. The trip starts and ends in Amman, Jordan.
You can choose between a tailor-made trip and one of our example trips.

Responsible tourism in Syria
Let us be real: travelling is bad for the environment. You are often travelling long distances by plane, and you are also emitting CO2 at your destination, whether directly or indirectly. Over-tourism is an even bigger problem, and that is exactly why at CultureRoad Travel we choose off-the-beaten-track destinations like Syria.
We are fully aware of our responsibility to travel in a way that has minimal impact on the world, and we do everything we can to minimise the ecological footprint of our trips. At CultureRoad Travel, we are a Travelife Partner, and we make sustainability a top priority. You can read more about it in our sustainability policy, but these things we would like to tell you in advance:
- CultureRoad Travel is planting 1 tree per traveller through TreesForAll. This is our decisive action to combat the approximately 10 billion trees that disappear every year.
- We are proud to hold a sustainability certification specifically for travel companies. CultureRoad Travel is a certified Travelife Partner.
- We make it our mission to educate our guests, guides and locals about the negative impact of plastic in destinations where this is not common knowledge.
- We do not use paper travel documents and our office is paperless.
Safe and worry-free travel
We understand that travelling to Syria requires extra attention when it comes to safety. At CultureRoad Travel, we make sure you are in good hands. Our guides are local, knowledgeable and experienced, ensuring that you can travel in a safe manner. We strictly adhere to safety guidelines and choose routes that are safe for tourists, so you can enjoy your travel experience without worry.
