As well as the Oramow temple, the Temple of Bel is also a very ancient temple of
Syria and this temple still survived centuries of earthquakes, siege and the erosion of time. I had my Syria vacation 2 times and each time I have visited
Damascus and it's nearby attractions, but only got a chance to visit the Bel temple last time. I did a full day tour at Damascus and visited the National Museum, Azem Palace, the Tekkieye Mosque, the Hamidiye Souq,
Umayyad Mosque and the Christian quarters of Bab Touma and Bab Sharqi. And the very next day, I did a full day tour in Palmyra and explored the Temple of Bel, the Theatre, the Necropolis and the Colonnaded Streets. The Temple of Bel is a must see one, so if anyone planning your Syria vacation soon, then add Bel Temple in your itinerary :)
