hi, this is jerry in ireland.

Are there cheap and clean hostels in damascus ? how do i find them ?

or better still, is there a site where damascans (correct denonym?) advertise their apartments for rent to short term visitors ?

another question, where does one get a bus from (in Damascus) if wanting to travel overland to lebanon ? how long is that journey ?

Any tips or advice ?

many thanks for any info you can share

Manu - according to a new goverment decision, as of 15 November 2009, individual Indian visitors are able to obtain a visa at the Jordanian borders or airports.Prior to the decision, only Indians who came in groups of five or more were allowed to get a visa at the Kingdom’s airports or borders without the need to apply for one in advance at the Jordanian embassy in their country. However, this advice comes with a caution that you should contact the Embassy of Jordan to find out if this is still the current law or whether it has changed.

As for Syria, you must apply for your visa ahead of arrival.
