The best packing lists for Syria

Syria's climate is continental, not Mediterranean. Damascus and Aleppo sit on plateaus: dry, very hot summers and winters with rain and night frost. Packing for the coast near Latakia and for the eastern steppe are two different jobs.

Good to know for Syria

In public, and all the more so at religious sites, dress is restrained: long trousers or skirts, arms covered, and a headscarf for women entering a mosque. Loose cotton is more comfortable than close-fitting technical fabric.

Outside the cities little is laid on: dust, long distances, almost no shade across the ruin fields. Sun protection, a cloth against the dust and sturdy closed shoes are the baseline.

Voltage runs around 220, sockets are mostly type C with E and L also in use, and because the supply is intermittent a power bank earns its weight. Payment is in Syrian pounds and almost entirely in cash, as international cards do not work. Bottled water is the only option for drinking.
