My journey to Strasbourg will be on the Orient Express.

Agatha Christie was a frequent visitor to Syria with her second husband, Max Mallowan.  He was an archaeologist and worked on some of the country’s most famous sites.  He is honoured in the National Museum in Damascus.

Murder on the Orient Express was reputedly written at the famous Baron Hotel in Aleppo, Syria.
