Discover the heart
of the cradle

Nine thousand years of continuous settlement sit between the Mediterranean shore and the Syrian desert: Roman theatres in black basalt, crusader walls above green hills, Aramaic still spoken in mountain villages, and a covered souq that has never stopped trading.

Every Murex journey is led by Syrian guides, kept to small groups, and paced so that the important hours — first light at the Umayyad Mosque, last light at Palmyra — are never rushed.
