Ancient Tadmur (Palmyra) city, Hims (Homs) Governorate
Palmyra (Tadmur) was an ancient Aramean (Syriac) city. In the age of antiquity, it was an important city of central Syria. It has long been a vital caravan city for travellers crossing the Syrian desert and was known as the Bride of the Desert. The earliest documented reference to the city by its Semitic name Tadmor, Tadmur or Tudmur (which means "the town that repels" in Amorite and "the indomitable town" in Aramaic.) is recorded in Babylonian tablets found in Mari.
