The story

A day by chance... Damascus, Palmyra, Aleppo, Krak des Chevaliers, Apamea... all the way to Dura Europos, Mari and Abu Kamal. A journey outside of space and time. Simply wonderful. Years later, the memory of a land full of treasures and above all still untouched by mass tourism is still alive in me.
