Syria has gone through many territorial and name changes over the last 3500 years
to its current incarnation perched on the Northwestern Boundary with Israel.
With Iraq and Turkey as neighbors it lives in a tough neighborhood.
Bill takes you on a fascinating journey beyond politics and religion to uncover Syria's
people and their multi-ethnic, millennial-old culture.
Along the way we will visit the extraordinary Roman Ruins of Palmyra,
the ancient Christian Citadels in Homs and the 8th Century Grand Mosque in Damascus
where you will see the "Whirling Dervishes" spinning like tops.
