Deir-az-Zur

There is a well-maintained, thoughtfully laid out, clean museum - a surprise given that most museums in Syria seem to be shrouded in dust, dirt and covered by broken roofs. Here you will find some background on the many tells in the surrounding area. Admission costs 150 SP for adults and the museum is open from 9am, every day except Tuesday.

There is also a famous suspension bridge over the Euphrates and various archaeological sites around Deir-az-Zur Halabiya and Zalabiya, Qal'at Rahbeh, Qal'at Rabah.
