Wild Coast & Mountain Pass: 9 Days Through Northwest Syria

  Saddle up for nine unforgettable days and 1,100+ kilometers of riding through the wild beauty of northwest Syria. Starting and ending in Homs, this loop threads together coastal highways, mountain switchbacks, and hidden valleys — a route built for riders who crave variety in every kilometer.

The Route

From the Homs countryside, the ride opens with Muzainah Lake and the mountain village of Mashta Al Hillu before dropping through Safita toward the coast. You'll roll into Tartus and then Latakia, tracing the shoreline before turning inland to the Mashqita Lakes and Ballouran Dam. The route climbs to Kasab, a mountain town wrapped in the lush Forests of Furnulq — your base for four nights and some of the tour's best riding and relaxing.

From Kasab, the journey continues to Jisr Al-Shughur and Darkush. After  a day rest in gorgeous Kasab, a dip back down to the coast at Ras al-Besait, and winds through Latakia's quiet coastal villages. Day7, heading inland again through Al Hifa and Jurin to reach Al-Qadmus. From there, it's a final run through Misyaf and back to Homs to close the loop.
