Beside being the cradle of many and varied civilizations, Syria is also a land of an assortment of landscapes.
An hour's drive will take you from fields of wheat and cotton to vineyard and olive trees, to pomegranate and palm-tree oases, to daisy and oleander meadows. On the sea-shore to the north. You can watch the Mediterranean's white waves, while in the golden desert you will see a deluge of wild flowers in spring.
As a result, this wealth of historical sites and landscapes offers the visitors a wide variety of tourism: Eco-tourism, rural tourism, religious tourism, cultural tourism, desert tourism, camping tourism ..etc.
All this has attracted many regional and international associations of professionals (doctors, jurists, pharmacists, dentists, architects…etc.) to hold their convention in Syria which provides the best facilities for such activities and offers at the same time the conventioneers an opportunity to enjoy the pleasure of touring the
Country.
