There are taxis available at the Damascus airport at almost any time of day or night. You are looking for the Saint Elias Monastery. This is located in the Dwaila (Dwella) neighborhood in Damascus on the same street as the Saint Elias Church (which is a larger landmark). The telephone number at the Monastery is: 011 472 2509. We will also give you the cell phone numbers of the program coordinators before you leave for Damascus. It is about a twenty minute drive from the airport to St. Elias. Basically you will go on the main highway and follow signs toward "Damascus" (rather than signs pointing to "Beirut"). The taxi ride from the airport to St. Elias should cost you about 700 Syrian Pounds. Please be sure we have your flight itinerary so we can plan for your arrival at the Monastery.
