Deir Ezzor and Palmyra

Posted by jonnymaserati on 5 July 2009 in English.

I drove up through Palmyra, Deir Ezzor and beyond last week, tracking as I went. Most of the roads I drove on are already mapped, but I managed to add a few streets in these towns.

The town in Palmyra should be pretty easy to map since it's pretty much a grid system, but Deir Ezzor is a bit trickier, plus there's absolutely nothing to do their so no real incentive for me to go back there... shame since with the river there it could be a really nice place; an oasis in the desert. Terribly dusty over there though...

I've also been doing some colouring in, starting to add some indication of land utilisation... can see that it's greener in Syria than you might expect then!
