It is possible to see St. Simeon, Sarjella/Sergella, Ebla, Ayn Dara and Apamea in a day? And if not, what can be taken out of that program?

What can anyone say about the Maara Museum? Worth Visiting?

Are most touristic places closed on Jan 1? Or no?

What are the most important things to see in Damascus in a day?

if you start early you can visit Eble the go to apamea and sarjella but I think you'll need to leave St.simeon and ayn dara for the next day since it gets dark early in this time of the year so you only have 8 hours of day light.
have fun

It is not possible to do all the visits in one day since the sunset is about 4:30 !! these sites are ocated near the city of Hama. I reccomend you divid the visits to 2 days and sped one night in Hama. I also like to draw your attention that no local transporation link between all these sites!!! you have to rent a car with or without driver.

The Maara museum is marvelious! it is one of the best mosaic museums in the area.

museums and castles in Syria close on Tuesday ONLY regardless if it is official holiday or not

wish you a nice trip
