Routes
Four itineraries that actually work
Built around what is open and how long the driving really takes. Each assumes a car and driver, which is the normal way to move here.
Structured for meetings, site visits and getting paperwork moving.
Day 1
Arrive, brief locally
Land at Damascus, meet your local counsel the same day. Bring cash for the first week.
Day 2
Meetings and chambers
Damascus chamber of commerce, sector contacts, and a bank conversation about correspondent access.
Day 3
Site visit
Aleppo or the coast, depending on sector — industry north, logistics and ports west.
Day 4
Close and file
Back to Damascus to sign, file and leave instructions with counsel before flying out.
