Crack de Chevalier

Syria is one of the most magnifecent places in the world. It contains a wealth of historic and natural sights to which no like can be found in such a small area. I visited the Crack de Chavelier, a castle which protected the only breach between Syria and the Lebanese coast. Seven hundred meters above the see level, it oversees green mountains and a valley giving a view which I have never seen before. Syria is really a land of wonders. It is probably good that not so many tourists come here, it helps it maintain its charm I guess.

I felt exactly the same, I was amazed at how much in love i was with everything i saw...and how familiar and authentic everything seemed to me despite the fact that its very different from any other arab country i've lived in and been to. I am so glad you got to experience that.
