Tucked away in the countryside of Northern Syria, the Dead Cities are a mysterious remainder of settlements abandonded more than 1500 years ago.
Between the cities of Hama and Aleppo in northern Syria, lie the remnants of hundreds of Byzantine sites. The area was mysteriously left some 15 centuries ago, and it is still not clear why the area was abandoned - probably because of shifting trade routes in the Middle East. Although the Dead Cities, as this area is called, are not very well documented, and the remains are not all that obviously described in travel guides, a visit is a special experience. We were especially lucky to find very variable weather, giving the landscape a grey overtone on some moments, while giving it a sunny look the next.
