Syria Museums
Although Syria
is a country that is rich in history and archaeology, museums
in Syria also cover a variety of themes which include: children's
heritage and science, folklore, jewelry, fine arts, military memorabilia,
popular traditions, post and communications, coins, marine science,
school books, and religious cultures.
Damascus

museums, in other tourist attractive centers, such as Aleppo,
Hama, Homs, Latakia,
Palmyra, Idleb, Bosra, Apamea, Ras
Shamra, Tell Harir and Tell Mardikh, only to name a few.
