AL MASIR ( The hike)

It all started in 1981 and is attended by many Syrians as well as by foreigners of various ages, religions and background. Al Masir appears as a sporting exercise but contemplates much more. It aims at the discovery of nature, of the historical and architectural heritage and of the Syrian folklore. It intends to promote community life, mutual respect for each other’s differences, aptitude for service and mutual assistance among the participants.

Each Al Masir hike lasts between 3 and 10 days and counts up to 300 people. They are walking either all together or by groups of about 10 and are covering 20 to 35 km a day.

Each hike includes a theme of thought which is being discussed in smaller groups among the hikers during their pauses .
