The story

An 11-day trip to Syria and Jordan with the operator "Sognare Insieme Viaggi", all inclusive for 1750 euros. We slept in 7 hotels from Damascus (2), Palmyra, Aleppo (2), Homs, Amman, Petra (2), Dead Sea. All 5-star, beautiful, except the one in Damascus, the Damascus International, with bad rooms, not very clean and a poor buffet. Excellent restaurants in Amman: Reem Albawady, and in Aleppo: Sissy. Fabulous the hotel in Amman, the Cham Palace, and at the Dead Sea the Dead Sea. The places are all beautiful, it depends on the interests of each one, many Roman-Byzantine archaeological sites but above all Petra and Palmyra, two real gems never to be forgotten.
