This town is the most important urban
center in the East of Syria. Situated on the banks
of the Euphrates, flowing gently through the plain,
Deir-ez-Zor, stands guard to the five bridges that
span the river, the lifeline of the regional
economy and navigable corridor of civilization
through the ages. Countless armies, conquerors and
merchants have come and gone leaving behind a
legacy of cultural and architectural diversity in
public and private stone buildings and flower
gardens
