Crossing the Syrian border is not a problem. Excavating at the Jordanienne border. Prefer the bus in place of taxi. People told me to be excavated and the almost dismounted taxi. For my just a little look at my bag. At the arrival in Damas, take a taxi for the center (300 fils) they will request one Dinar. Housing : Farah Hotel (Cinema Hussein St.) Very good hotel. The elevator is a little distressing, but the rooms and the sanitery are clean. The price is higher than others. Quiet, no mosque around. Price for a bed in dormitory (4 Dinars).
