Bride of the Desert
Last Friday, I visited the Bride of the Desert - the ancient city of Palmyra. It is about 3+ hours drive from Jisr Al-Shogour but it was worth all the time and effort. Palmyra was said to be fortified by Solomon and was mentioned in the Old Testament. It used to be a major trading hub for the old east-west trade route. Ancient ruins of this site still stands as testament to the glory of the good old days!
