⚠ February cold snaps can push overnight temperatures in Damascus below freezing, and at higher elevations like Maaloula at roughly 1,500 m (4,921 ft), nighttime lows may reach minus 5°C (23°F) with occasional light snow. Heating in accommodation outside upscale Damascus hotels is often unreliable. Pack as though your room may be cold.
⚠ Desert conditions around Palmyra amplify the temperature swing: clear February nights can drop below 0°C (32°F) even when afternoon highs reach 15°C (59°F), and while rare in February, sudden sandstorms can reduce visibility to near zero with no advance warning. Carry eye protection and a scarf that covers nose and mouth if heading east into the desert.
