About Ziyara Ride
Private travel shaped around the person taking it.
Ziyara Ride is an independent private travel service based in Damascus, founded in 2025 by Muhammed Entabi.
As your local travel host, Muhammed accompanies you throughout the journey, shares local knowledge and stories, and helps shape a flexible route around your interests, schedule, and preferred pace.
A female assistant may also join by prior arrangement when travelers would feel more comfortable with a woman present.
Why Ziyara Ride
Less checklist. More journey.
Private and personal
Your journey is for your group, not a busload of strangers wearing identical lanyards.
Flexible by design
Routes and timing can adapt around your interests, energy, access, and practical conditions.
Local knowledge
Muhammed shares context, stories, practical insight, and details that do not fit neatly into guidebooks.
Clear pricing
Starting prices and full traveler pricing are published rather than revealed after a small administrative séance.
Easy communication
Plan directly on WhatsApp, confirm everything in writing, and avoid complicated booking portals.
Very small groups
The private vehicle accommodates up to three travelers, keeping the experience comfortable and adaptable.
Private experiences
Choose a starting point. Then make it yours.
Day trips begin and end in Damascus unless a different arrangement is confirmed. Multi-day journeys can follow a more flexible route.
Damascus
Historic landmarks, souqs, neighborhoods, cafés, food, faith, and local life without a rigid checklist.
Maaloula
Mountain passages, monasteries, village streets, viewpoints, and an optional Saydnaya extension.
Bosra
A major Roman theatre, fortified citadel, black-basalt city, layered history, and unhurried photography.
Palmyra
The Grand Colonnade, archaeological landscape, caravan history, desert views, and changing light.
Krak des Chevaliers
Gateways, walls, towers, courtyards, vaulted halls, mountain views, and time to explore properly.
7-Day Private Syria Journey
A flexible route linking Damascus, Maaloula, Bosra, Palmyra, Krak des Chevaliers, and Aleppo.
Starting prices are shown in USD. Final pricing depends on the number of travelers, route, trip length, and requested arrangements. Full pricing is shown on each experience page, because hiding the actual cost until checkout is a tradition we decline to participate in.
On the road
A private Peugeot 407 for up to three travelers.
Travel in a black Peugeot 407 with air conditioning, seatbelts for every passenger, bottled water, a large phone-charging power bank, and in-car internet where mobile coverage allows.

For multi-day journeys, two travelers with suitcases are the most comfortable arrangement. Three travelers are possible when luggage is limited to compact backpacks or small bags.
Please tell us what luggage you are bringing before booking. Better to discuss it before arrival than discover at pickup that someone has packed for migration rather than seven days.
Apparently even ancient ruins cannot persuade mobile towers to behave consistently.
