Conditions for bringing a foreign car into Syria

Ensure that you have all the required ownership documents for your vehicle.

Laws apply to all foreign cars, depending on the country of license plate
You must be the official owner of the vehicle, and you must have a driving license issued by the country in which the car is licensed. Upon arrival at the Syrian border, the authorities will issue a registration book for the vehicle valid for a full year, but you can keep the car in Syria for four continuous months only. The cost ranges between 200 To 250 USD dollars depending on the type of car. After this period, you can extend it for two months. During the extension period, the cost ranges between 50 to 55 USD dollars for each week of extension. After the six months have passed, the car must be removed from Syria for a period of six months until the entry permit has expired. Then you can Re-enter it with a new license.

Insurance Coverage:


Check the insurance requirements for foreign vehicles in Syria. It’s advisable to have comprehensive insurance coverage that includes liability and covers any potential damages or accidents during your stay.

Enter Syria on a motorcycle

A tourist can enter Qatar on his bicycle according to the following conditions:
1- The bike license must be valid.
2- Its driver must have an international driver’s license that authorizes him to drive it.
3-Compliance with laws, regulations and decisions issued by local authorities.

Fuel and Maintenance

Research fuel availability and plan your journey accordingly. Carry a sufficient supply of essentials, including spare parts, tools, and a first aid kit. Locate service stations along your route and schedule regular maintenance checks to keep your vehicle in optimal condition.

    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.

    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.
