### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book Helped in my travel

Good bookHelped in my travel

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ a good guidebook
*by D***Y on November 2, 2010*

I just returned from two weeks in Syria with a friend who had brought Darke's guidebook with her, and we found it extremely useful. We had no trouble finding the sites and amenities she describes, and her accounts of sites outside Damascus are thorough and well-informed. She has done her homework on the history and archaeology, and the book contains dozens of helpful vignettes about daily life, customs, dress, language, religious practice, etc. that illuminated what we were seeing. The book is well-written and we enjoyed the incisive and occasionally tart asides. We were mid-level tourists, not budget, and it may be that the guide is better suited to the former. For the first-time traveler, it offered just the quantity and quality of information that were needed.

### ⭐⭐ Unclear and not for the budget traveller
*by S***R on January 6, 2008*

As someone living in Syria for over a year, I cannot recommend this guidebook, except for someone on a package tour, using the guide only for information on tourist sites. For independent, and particularly budget travelers, the guidebook is simply too unclear. The maps are extremely simplified, which is a serious problem in the winding alleyways of the old city of Damascus, and I find it hard to follow her directions to various restaurants having lived in the country for some time. As a visitor, I think it would be nearly impossible.The restaurant and hotel reviews are generally incredibly simplistic. For restaurants, half of each review discusses whether or not alcohol is served, while frequently ignoring both price and food quality. Hotels are described with similar brevity, and the focus is clearly on the upper end.The descriptions of various sites, as well as the historical, cultural and political background is reasonably well done. However, I don't think that it this guide has more information or is in any way clearer than the equivalent Lonely Planet guidebook, which I would recommend over this book for any traveler.
