The ancient city of Palmyra was one of the largest in its heydays. Now extensive ruins testify to its grandeur.
I started to walk through the city from the foot of the Citadel to the Temple of Bel. From this side, you first walk through what has been residential area. You can clearly follow the Avenue, and on both sides you can see remains of the city stretching quite far away. After reaching the Tetrapylon, a crossroads of Palmyra, you enter the official quarter of the ancient city. We found an old Syrian on a bicycle selling some drinks here and refused riding a camel before entering the most interesting part of the city.
