Travel Guide Qalaat Najim

Its situation on the border of the Euphrates, like its good state of conservation, should make it an indispensable stage of a trip to Syria. The arrival on the site is already amazing. When you come from Aleppo, after crossing a country, the landscape becomes green, the land houses offer the spectacle of a simple life in harmony with nature: cow patties piled up to make fire, woman perched on her donkey to report water, high wrought iron beds out outside from sunrise… On each remains, there is a strange outgrowth of outgrowth with small holes around which the earth is black: the bread oven! If smoke comes out of the chimney, it is that it is active and thick patties will soon get out. Marking the stop is a delight… Then the Euphrates lets itself guess. the high crayeuses cliffs that the palps contrastent contrast with its deep blue. By the way of a yaw comes the unlikely Arab castle dominating a small village that seems to be confused with the rock.
