A two thousands years  old city and crossroad in the middle of  the Syrian desert ,  Palmyra has been  famous ever since  a female monarch , Queen Zenobia, challenged the Roman emperor Aurlian and dominated lands East of the Mediterranean and Egypt for six years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ruins of  Palmyra give  an idea of the important  role this city played at<\/p>\n\n\n\n

its height; collecting taxes and defending the Eastern border of the Roman Empire from the Persians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The colonnades, the temples devoted to Bel and Baalshamin, the funeral towers and the Necropolis valley are all definitely worth a visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palmyra stands aside on oasis of palm trees. It offers a dramatic spectacle you will never see elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The sunset of Palmyra is almost unreal. The shadows of the ruins seem to revive the old city every evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
