About the destination

Welcome to Latakia, a hidden gem on the Mediterranean coast of Syria. This ancient port city boasts a rich tapestry of history, culture, and natural beauty that beckons travelers seeking a unique and off-the-beaten-path experience. With its mild climate, picturesque landscapes, and friendly locals, Latakia serves as a perfect base to explore the enchanting western region of Syria. Begin your journey through Latakia's storied past in the heart of the city, where remnants of ancient civilizations whisper tales of bygone eras. Stroll through the vibrant souks and marketplaces, where the scent of spices and the buzz of daily commerce transport you to a world of timeless traditions. Be sure to visit the National Museum of Latakia, which houses an impressive collection of artifacts from the Bronze Age, Roman, and Byzantine periods, offering insights into the area's historical significance. Venture beyond the city to the stunning countryside, where you can explore the ruins of Ugarit, an important archaeological site dating back to the 2nd millennium BC. Once a major port and cultural center, Ugarit's cuneiform tablets have provided invaluable contributions to our understanding of ancient languages and societies. For nature enthusiasts, the surrounding region offers beautiful beaches, lush forests, and the scenic Aqraa mountain range, perfect for hiking and enjoying the Mediterranean's natural splendor. As the day wanes, unwind along Latakia's expansive seafront promenade, where the local way of life unfolds against the backdrop of the setting sun. Partake in the city's Mediterranean cuisine, savoring dishes infused with fresh local ingredients and rich flavors, such as shish kebab, tabbouleh, and the region's renowned citrus fruits. Whether you're sipping a cup of strong Syrian coffee or inhaling the fragrant smoke of a nargileh (water pipe), Latakia's blend of history, culture, and relaxation will leave a lasting impression on all who visit. Please be aware that travel to Syria is strongly discouraged due to ongoing conflict and extremely dangerous conditions in the country. It is important to check your government's travel advice and consider the risks before planning any travel to Syria. This guide is written with the hope of future peaceful circumstances that would once again allow for safe exploration of the country's remarkable heritage and natural beauty.
