07 DAYS

Syria:
Country of
Enchantment

For more than 14 years, Syria remained a mystery to the outside world. Dictatorial rule oppressed the population and prevented foreigners from seeing the whole picture. December 8th, 2024 marked the day the Assad Regime fell. Join me in celebrating the second anniversary of a liberated Syria, getting lost in the winding souks of Damascus, hearing the language of Jesus and more than anything, experiencing the many layers of Syria.

Our Philosophy

Travel That
Changes How
You See

01

Small Groups

Big conversations, small groups. We keep our journeys limited to optimize the experience and friendships.

02

Local Immersion

We work hand in hand with local guides, friends, and artisans. Hear their stories, taste their food, experience their world.

03

Curated Depth

Each trip is uniquely designed to make sure you have the experience of a lifetime. A trip you simply can’t book on your own.
