Entry Requirements
Individuals and groups of all nationalities (with some exceptions) are issued one-month entry visa upon arrival at any port in Syria upon presentation of passport; which is extensible on a request submitted to the Passports and Immigration Office, or to obtain in advance an entry visa from Syrian diplomatic missions abroad (this is very important for everybody coming from USA, and may apply to other countries, so please be careful).
There are no restrictions on visitors to bring in foreign currencies, but the sum of foreign currency allowed out should not exceed the amount brought in.
Note: No Israeli stamp or any crossing point with Israel stamp should be on your passport this includes Araba border, Sheikh Hussein border, Rafah border, and Taba border.
Currency & Exchange Facilities
The currency of Syria is Syrian Pound (called Lira) - 1 US Dollar equals SL 49.7 (1 May 2001). One Lira is 100 piasters.
Coin denominations are: 25, 50 piastres and 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 liras.
Paper denominations are: 1, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100, 500 liras.
Special tourist exchange rates have been put into operation so that the exchange rates at hotels are the same as those at the other exchange centres.
Credit cards and Traveller Cheques are accepted at most hotels, car rental agencies, shops and restaurants. Major cards accepted are Master Card, Visa, Eurocard, AMEX and Diners Club.
Climate

Annual rainfall along the coast ranges from 750 to 1000mm (30 to 40 inches).

The last time I tried to write to somebody who sent me a private mail, he tried to hack my computer. So I do not write to anybody any more unless I know the person. Please post here what you want to know and I can give you all the information.

I tried responding to your PM from then - but the site won't let me.
Wanted some contacts in Salamiyah. Also I have an Israeli Stamp in my passport - is that going to cause me a problem?

Syria doesn't give visa if you have Israeli Stamp on passport as Israel is still occupying part of southern Syria.
If you have dual nationality then use the other passport and the visa fees could be much cheaper for a Pakistani or East African passport.
If you have only one passport then some countries in the West give temporary passport for their citizens visiting Syria if they have Israeli Stamp on passport. Please check with your immigration office.
The most likely date for Salamieh Darbar is 26th August but this is still not confirmed.

Salamieh has several Jamatkhana, the main JK is with the Mosoleum of Prince Alykhan...
EXPECTED Didar dates: salamiya 26 and al-khawabi 27
Of course do not expect any confirmation for dates before you arrive there... so make arrangements to arrive before Hazar imam and leave after he has left then you will not have any surprises.

Thank you for the information. Unfortunately everything is in Arabic at the site and most of us do not know Arabic. Please could you inform us here about what is written Arabic at the site and also provide us with updates of all the preparations and the mood of the Jamat there. Thank you and Mubarak to the Syria Jamat.

Ya Ali Madad and hello.
first of all, i just want to say mabruk/mubaraki to the entire Ismaili community around the world for the good news of our Imam's forthcoming Golden Jubilee visit to Syria.
I want to ask, is anyone from the United Kingdom attending the deedar @ Salamieh? Because i've been told by many people (including those from Salamieh and around) to attend the deedar in a group. Also I've never been to Syria before and am not familiar with the surrondings.
If you are from the UK or know a tour company based in the UK or Europe that is organising a trip to Syria, please get in touch with me.
I look forward to hearing from you
With best regards
Hassan

Is there a Jamatkhana in Damascus?
Does anyone know the locations in Jamat Khana's in Syria?
YAM,
We went to Syria Didars in 2001.
We rented a taxy, km, fuel and driver included for $100 a day from Aleppo to Damascus with a couple of days in hotels in Hama. Decent hotels were from $30 per room to $120 per room, high end hotel suite at $180 per room but considering we were 3 per room, it was not bad. We even shared the taxy and it cost us only $35 per person per day.
Syria has mausoleums of several dais and Imams. Also Ismaili castles are worth visiting. Face to Masyaf castle in the mountain, you will find the tomb of Dai Rashiduddin Sinan and Imam Ismail.
In Slamieh, we danced all night in the strets before Didar with Ismaili brothers, bot Masyaf and Salamieh were decorated in red and green and at each corner there were groups of Ismailis dancing and singing in celebrations.
Remember, if you go, be very spontaneous, khojas will be minority though khoja politics may have some influence, it is not possible that it will break the spirit of generosity and celebration of our Syrian brothers.
Hospitality has no bound, even Syrians Ismailis who do not know you will welcome you open heartedly in their house and their heart.
If there is one didar to attend in the world during Golden Jubilee , it is that of Salamieh. Make sure to wave at Hazar Imam, make sure to clap if you feel so, a Darbar is an occasion of joy and happiness, do not let anyone tell you the opposite.
Share your experiences here with us, the less fortunate that can not attend.
