Dayr az Zawr

---

I stopped for a day in Dayr az Zawr, lucky to get one of the last rooms on town. Not the most exciting place in the world but good as a base for visiting some ruins in the area. The Euphrates runs through the city. A river with great history, and as the Syrians realize a great place the throw all your garbage in as eventually it will all get flushed away to another country anyway.... The main attraction is the old suspensions bridge.
The city did not really do it for me, however it worked great for the thousands of bugs who love the river. Like I said, it ain't Paris, but it wouldn't be Syria if I did not end up in a restaurant with a nice Lebanese guy and his Turkish chef friend, exchanging European cooking tips.
