Sixty-plus years ago today, Syria seceded from the United Arab Republic, ending its three-year union with Egypt. The anniversary is being marked in history and travel circles, with posts pointing readers to the ancient ruins of Palmyra and Syria's rich heritage. The UAR, formed in 1958 under Nasser, was the first attempt at a pan-Arab state, and its collapse remains a notable moment in Middle Eastern history.
