Traffic rules

The minute you land at Aleppo Airport, one of the things that you will notice is the many car rental companies. Various rental companies here have different rates and it is advisable to negotiate prior to renting one. There are various parking lots within the city but once you get to the interior parts, it can get a tad tricky. Alternatively, you could leave the rental car parked in your hotel’s parking lot and stroll through the city. It is fun to get to traverse through the city by foot occasionally.

The minute you hire a car at Aleppo Airport, one of the main documents that you must possess include a valid driving license from your home country and an International Driving License for at least a year. You must have attained at least the age of 21 years although some car rental companies tend to charge extra for drivers below the age of 25.

Traffic rules include:

Ensure that you keep right every time you are behind the wheel
Keep a considerable distance from other vehicles
Seat belts here are a must
Do not expect to find any tolls here

You cannot claim to have toured Aleppo if you do not see and participate in activities such as sampling their delicious cuisine and especially their sweets, swimming in the Mediterranean and drinking freshly brewed pomegranate juice.

If you are using a rental car, you can access various sights. One of the most outstanding features that you must see while at Aleppo is the proverbial long lost land that holds almost a thousand towns that have been labeled as ‘forgotten.’ These towns are said to have survived various catastrophes such as invasions and earthquakes.
