Syria: Dead Cities

Dead Cities, Syria

Yesterday, on our way to Hama, we took a little detour in search of the Dead Cities. We kind of got lost because after you leave the main road, there are very few signs in English. Eventually we came upon the Dead City of Al-Bara. The city dates from at least the 4^th century, and as late as the 12^th century it was occupied by the Latin Crusaders. Today we returned to photograph there in early morning light. We also came across another Dead City and photographed it too.
