Trip into Syria's Christian history

On the third day we took a taxi into the country. Sand, mountains and amazing views.
All the way to this monastary. It is a 1000 years old, but only since 30 years it is in use again. It is now eucomenic, and a wonderfully welcome place.

To get there you have to make a little walk, surrounded by these amazing desert jasmins,
And up all these stairs....



Inside there is this amzing little chapel from 1100 bc and there are still fresco's there that are just as old.

Paradise
Hell
Art outside
Then we went to krak de chevalier. That is just amazing. Read the history here




Flowers in the desert have got something very special about them.
