Syria/Lebanon/Jordan, by gozgoz on Mar 6, 2008 16:43:03 GMT 1, ok guys. Thanks again to all for the tips on Cairo! They came in handy... except for the fact that BMI lost my freaking luggage!
Now for more help:
Im thinking of going to Syria in May. and then from Syria i travel out to Jordan (Petra) and Lebanon.
One way flights out are waaaay too expensive so im using Syria as my base since its between both destinations.
Anyone got any advice? Where i should go? Stay etc etc?

when in fact, bethlehem was safer than where i stay down at kings cross.

I was in Uganda not so long ago, and they said there were drive bys and all sorts of mentalists running around with grenades. Not quite my experience.
That said it is a useful starting point, and does let you know of recent terroist attacks!

Syria/Lebanon/Jordan, by BunnyBoiler on Mar 7, 2008 12:34:00 GMT 1, Syria is great place to go. Two of my friends just got back from there. nothing to worry about. They said everyone was very friendly and the food is great. Its very cheap over there as well.
They are going back next year and I might join them.
I been to Jordan. You should definitely visit Petra and the Dead sea.
I went to the moevenpick ZARA Spa. Its magical there.
