Snow in the Syrian deserts is quite a sight if you are lucky enough to see it. Bring light clothes for summer and warmer clothes in winter if travelling up into the mountains or into the desert. Expect rain on the coast during winter. We advise you check your local consular advice for up to date security information before you travel. Syria is a friendly and generally trouble free country with little crime affecting tourists.
Tensions can rise suddenly though following changes in the whole Middle Eastern situation.
