Palmyra

Filed under: photos, travel — rohan @ 13:52

Palmyra (or Tadmoor to the locals) is an extensive, well-preserved Roman city in the middle of the Syrian desert. It was once an oasis along the route between Bagdad and Damascus.

   

I also caught a nice glimpse of a herd of (wild?) camels drinking at a watering hole from the bus window.
