Doura Europos has served as a military colony, a fortress and a caravan city, and still offers great views over the Euphrates river to the present-day visitor.
We walked towards the Euphrates, enjoyed some great views over the river and the agriculture on the banks of the river, saw the inevitable New Citadel, and enjoyed the sun going down over this ancient landscape of Doura Europos. As we walked back towards the city wall, we tried to imagine the temples that had once stood here, the underground battle fought by the Romans and Sassanians, until we realized that the gate was closed. When we arrived at the gate, the caretaker of the ruins came off his motorbike, opened the gate for us, and made us pay the entrance fee. He sped off on his bike, as we walked towards the road, always looking back to see the sun set over the defensive walls of the ancient city of Doura Europos.
