Hi. My partner and I are going on the Istanbul to Cairo trip (beginning 1 July) and I'm working on our Syrian visa application. I see we need our point of entry and point of exit from Syria, along with an address in Syria. I've searched this forum and found details from one of the trips last year - is this information still accurate (I've noted the detail below)? And can anyone confirm that we cross the border into Syria on the 15th day of the tour?
Borders:
Turkey to Syria - Kilis, Azaar Border
Syria to Jordan - Nassib, Jaber Border
Syria Address:
The Imaginative Traveller
C/O Jasmin Tours
Ain Al Kerash, Fathi Al Atasi St,
Halabi Building, Damascus
+963 11 231 75 97
Thank you!
Re: Syrian Visas
Hi KiltedCanuck,
Thanks for your questions.
The address you have mentioned in your post is correct; this is our Syrian office. Day 15 is also the day that you cross into Syria, leaving the country on Day 22 for Amman.
The crossing from Turkey to Syria is at Kilis- Azaaz (in the summer months) and Reyhanli-Babul Hawa (in the winter months/October to May). The crossing between Syria and Jordan is at Ramtha.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Brendan
