IMPORTANT NOTES Back to Tours page

• A group of 8 pax minimum can get a free-of-charge visa upon arrival to Syria, however we do recommend that you arrange a group of at least 10 pax to avoid last minute cancellations that reduces the group size to less than a free of charge status.
• We need the following information: Name & Family Name ñ Date of Birth ñ Passport No ñ Issue Date ñ Expiry Date ñ Nationality ñ Profession, at least 7 days before your arrival.
• Groups of 1 to 7 pax should arrange their own visas before coming to Syria.
• Please ensure that all passports have NO Israeli stamps, which invalidate them in Syria. 

1. Clothing:

The wearing of long-sleeved shirts and long trousers or skirts is recommended as protection against the sun and out of consideration for regional customs. Sunhats and sunscreen are also advisable. For visits to mosques and churches, clothing that covers legs and arms is a necessity. Heavy winter clothing is advisable from November to March. Comfortable shoes will also make your trip more enjoyable.
