Health
There is no risk of malaria in urban areas, but travelers to northern Syria in El Hassaka are recommended to take chloroquine between May and October. A yellow fever certificate is required by travelers arriving from an infected country in Africa or the Americas. It is recommended that travelers are vaccinated against polio. Although medical treatment is inexpensive, standards are variable. Doctors are generally well qualified and most medical personnel speak English or French. Basic medical care is available in major cities, but medical insurance is strongly advised.
Safety
Most visits to Syria are trouble-free, and crime levels are low. Terrorism is a risk, and although not usually directed at tourists, there is the risk of becoming an unintentional victim, especially at places like the US Embassy.
