A full year after the earthquake that struck northern and western Syria, Aleppo Citadel was finally opened to tourists after carrying out the necessary restoration operations.
The 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck southern Türkiye and northern Syria brought horror and devastation to the affected populations on an unimaginable scale. Since the earthquake, WHO has been providing supplies and working with health officials to direct medical teams and support where they are most needed.
The Syrian people everywhere in the country – once again show the resilience needed to withstand this new, immense, challenge with inspiring determination.
The provinces of Aleppo and Latakia were the most affected by the earthquake that struck Syria in February 2023.
The gate of the Aleppo Citadel was damaged, in addition to the first tower. Many cracks were noticed in the walls, which took more than a year to restore. When entering the citadel, we also notice that some sections are still closed due to the restoration work.
The city of Aleppo seems full of life again, as it is noted that restoration work and rehabilitation of many damaged buildings are continuing. The maintenance workshop is resuming its work despite the great challenges it faces in terms of financing and working conditions. It seems that there is a strong determination to return the city of Aleppo to life fully as usual, as witnessed by Aleppo has many earthquakes that caused damage to the city.

Highly recommended travel agency! silvia fer 2023-12-02 The Syria Scope Team es una compañía increíble. Te da una seguridad absoluta desde el principio del recorrido hasta el final. Una organización increíble e inmejorable. Hicimos un recorrido de 8 días, salimos de Beirut donde te recoge un chófer a la hora y el lugar acordado. El realiza todos los trámites necesarios para pasar la frontera uniéndose después al segundo chófer, hay muy buena comunicación entre ellos y te sientes segura en el Cruze fronterizo. Cuando llegamos a Damasco descansamos y empezamos nuestra ruta, con un maravilloso guía que es increíblemente simpático y profesional. En nuestra ruta de 8 días vemos Damasco, Maloula,Homs, Aleppo Apamea,Hama,krak des Chevaliers,Almishtaya,Palmyra, y de vuelta a Damascus. Siria es increíble y a pesar de su situación es realmente segura. Está claro que volveré a ir. También quiero decir que la comunicación es realmente increíble dejando bien claro los precios desde el principio. Es la compañía de viajes más fiable que conozco. Gracias por vuestro trato siempre tan increíblemente humano. li edith 2023-11-24 Wonderful experience with their tour Clear and flexible arrangement Kind and helpful people Everything on spot Highly recommended Renato Cerrato 2023-11-22 Perfect, one of best trips in my life so far.

Sergio Gironella 2023-10-02 I was in Syria in December 2022 and our tour operator, Syria Scope, really took care of all details. We traveled all across the country and everything went smoothly. Hotel accommodations were comfortable, our guide was professional and knowledgeable and the overall experience was well worth it. I can recommend this to anyone willing to visit this beautiful country and please do not be biased about the media saying it is dangerous.
