Hama
(Hamath), situated between Homs and Aleppo on the banks of the Orontes
river, is an important agricultural and industrial center. Except for
Damascus, Hama is considered the most picturesque city in Syria and one
may wish to take time to relax in the attractive gardens along the river
banks.
About 50km west of Hama, the great city of Apamea -- one of the three
great cities of the post -Alexandrian Empire -- was the prosperous
Seleucid capital situated in the midst of a thriving agricultural region.
Surrounded by farmland, it was the most important military center of the
Helenicised Asia Minor. A full-day visit is highly recommended.
