The city is flanked on one side by the Euphrates river and on the other by the stretch of desert which leads toPalmyra. It is not a tourist-oriented city, which can add to some of its appeal if you have come from Palmyra. There is amuseumto visit and afamous suspension bridgeover the Euphrates as well as a small souk. The city is about 300 km south-east ofAleppoand about 200 km to the east of Palmyra.
