SYRIA
As one of the longest inhabited countries in the world, the land of Syria has a marked role in the history of Islam. Moreso, every lover of the Ahlul Bayt yearns to give salutations to the those personalities who safeguarded the religion of Islam . Sayyedah Zainab is not only known as the saviour of Imamat but also the one who spoke as eloquently as her father. Even when in distress, she managed to use words to wake the Islam within the people of Damascus striking fear into the tyrant.

Since 2012, Syria has been under political strife and civil war. As of late, Zawaars have been able visit the shrines and places of Ziyarat within Damascus. Even though one should always be vigilant, Damascus (city) and Sayyedah Zainab area are relatively safe with multiple checkpoints along the route.
