Deir-az-Zur Halal Travel Guide

Deir-az-Zur is a relatively young city (Ottoman period) so does not contain any spectacular ruins - though there are many extraordinary archaeological sites in the region. The city is flanked on one side by the Euphrates river and on the other by the stretch of desert which leads to Palmyra. It is not a tourist-oriented city, which can add to some of its appeal if you have come from Palmyra. There is a museum to visit and a famous suspension bridge over the Euphrates as well as a small souk. It sits about 300 kilometers south-east of Aleppo and about 200 kilometers to the east of Palmyra.

How to travel to Deir-az-Zur

Buses go to Deir-az-Zur from Aleppo, Raqqa, Damascus and Palmyra. Expect to be dropped off at the police station on arrival and fill in typical Syrian forms, although like most Syrians the atmosphere is very friendly.

Get Around

Deir-az-Zur is not a big city so it is easy to walk around. The Euphrates is about a 10 minutes stroll from the main street. Taxis are also available.

What to see in Deir-az-Zur

There is a well-maintained, thoughtfully laid out, clean museum - a surprise given that most museums in Syria seem to be shrouded in dust, dirt and covered by broken roofs. Here you will find some background on the many tells in the surrounding area. Admission costs 150 SP for adults and the museum is open from 9am, every day except Tuesday.

There is also a famous suspension bridge over the Euphrates and various archaeological sites around Deir-az-Zur (Halabiya and Zalabiya, Qal'at Rahbeh, Qal'at Rabah).

• Deir ez-Zor Museum - متحف دير الزور | 35.341, 40.133 - Deir ez-Zor Museum - A954780 Historical museum that used to host an variety of artifacts such as clay tablets from the ancient city of Mari. As of 2022 and the museum is closed and the collection has been removed.

Top Muslim Travel Tips for Deir-az-Zur

From Deir-az-Zur it is feasible to visit two sets of Mesopotamian ruins (Dura-Europos and Mari) that lie between the city and the Iraqi border and beside the Euphrates River. Both sites can be easily visited in a single day from Deir-az-Zur by catching one of the many shuttle vanes that run from the city towards the Iraqi border along Highway 4 as they are less than 1 kilometers from the highway. Traveling southwards from Deir-az-Zur the first ruins that are reached are Dura-Europos and about 10 kilometers further south is the complex of Mari. Returning shuttle vanes to Deir-az-Zur can be flagged down on the highway.

Shopping in Deir-az-Zur

There is an ATM in Deir-az-Zur which will take foreign cards at the Commercial Bank of Syria on the main street.

Halal Restaurants

Deir Ezzor seems to specialise in d/halal-poultry-dishes/ Halal Kebab restaurants. Meat is finely chopped and mixed with onions and spices and then grilled over charcoal and served with grilled tomatoes, salad, garnishes and ayran (a drink of diluted yogurt). The price is set by the weight of the d Meat (500 SP a kilogram in December 2007) and a normal meal is 250 g of d Meat per person.

You can also find plenty of restaurants serving roast Chicken, falafels and other typical Syrian fast food.

On the main street there is a small shop selling the usual selection of none-alcoholic drinks, arak and other soft drinks. You can find it halfway between the main square and the Commercial Bank of Syria, on the left hand side if you are walking towards the bank.

Bar al-Kandeel is an unpleasant affair with some interesting patrons about 200m along the main street north west of the square, on the right. Lone travellers and especially women should avoid.

Muslim Friendly Hotels

There are not many hotels and even fewer where foreign tourists and particularly lone women would feel comfortable.

Hotel Al-Jamia Al-Arabia (Tel. 351371) is one of the few nice budget options in town. A double room with shared toilets (squat but clean and separate cubicles for men and women) is 500 SP, not including breakfast. The owner speaks excellent English and is very willing to share knowledge about the city and area, which helps make up for the slightly shabby decor. The hotel could do with a lick of paint and touch-up but is crucially clean. Some rooms have balconies overlooking the main street.

If you fancy a touch of luxury and there is a Cham Palace.

Telecommunications in Deir-az-Zur

Internet Cafe's in Deir-az-Zur

There is also a large place just off the square, level with the statue.
