A perfect day trip destination - I visited this city on a day trip and was pleasantly surprised. It’s a charming town with plenty of excellent restaurants, clean streets, and a welcoming atmosphere. The people were friendly everywhere I went. A highlight of the visit was the Fortress Razafa, which is truly a must-see. The views over the city from there are absolutely stunning.
