A look at this incredible country prior to the start of the devastating civil uprising which began in the early spring of 2011, referred to as the current Syrian Civil War

Syria has a rich history that goes back approximately 10,000 years to the Pre-Pottery Neolithic period.  The country is dotted with remnants from the Middle Ages and the Ottoman eras. Syria is also known for its incredible landscapes, colourful traditions, and its friendly people. 

Sadly, since the start of the Syrian Civil War in early 2011, the country and its people have been suffering immensely. Since the Salafi jihadi extremist militant group known as Islamic State (IS, ISIS, ISIL, or Daesh), entered the war, the lives of the Syrian people as well as their cultural treasures have been much destroyed.

Blessed are those who enjoyed Syria prior to this war, as Syria won’t be the same again in our lifetime. May peace and prosperity return to a democratic Syria!
