Entry fees across
the country had been cut in half. All the former S£300
fees for monuments, sites and museums are now S£150. At least this is the case
on major sites such as Krak des Chevaliers, Temple of Bel, Saint Simeon Basilica
and others.

There are internet/email facilities
gradually sprouting up everywhere. The tourist info can help you find them in
Aleppo, Lattakia, Hama, Damascus, etc. Pay from US$1 to US$2 an hour. They all
officially go through a controlled proxy server in Damascus which blocks access
to most western email and news sites. However, techie cafes can switch the proxy
server to bypass this and can mask the IP address so that the Syrian authorities
can't trace them. This gives you access to everything, though it is obviously
illegal.

Near Bab ash-Sharqi parts of the old
city walls were unearthed during construction of a new underpass and can be seen
now, 6 metres under the current street level. It is quite interesting and free.
