Worth a visit to see its Roman ruins, Suweida also features the Suweida Museum (Roman mosaics), the basilica and the Temple to the God Dosares.
While you're in the area, stop in Qanawat and Shahba (7 mi/11 km north of town), which has second-century Roman ruins—an amphitheater, gates, paved roads, a temple and baths—and a museum of mosaics.
Suweida is 65 mi/105 km south of Damascus.
