Anyone been to Syria for a holiday?

[Bbbananas]

The BF suddenly announced that he would like to go to Syria for our holiday next year.... a destination that doesn't automatically or easily spring to mind for me.

Anyone been?

I'd love to - some fantastic archaeology.
I've a feeling that you have to go on escorted tours (may be wrong - that might be Libya).
Let us know how you get on!
