Syria

Beirut to Damascus border crossing: Very straightforward. On the Lebanese side, they barely check your passport and, on the Syrian side, they take around 20 minutes, as long as there are no people, of course.

We don’t actually go into Damascus. However, you can get a sense of what it is like from this visitor- https://www.unusualtraveler.com/damascus/

Qatana @ 14550km, we'll be able to see Mount Hermon which is known in Arabic as Jabal El-Sheikh or the mountain of the old man as it is snow capped for much of the year like the white hairs on an old man's head.

Inkhil @ 14630km. Parcour training school: https://www.reuters.com/article/instant-article/idINKBN17U23J
