Amman — The number of Jordanians travelling to Syria (click here) is rising every day with majority of passengers travelling to buy commodities using their personal cars.
Since the reopening of the Jaber/Nasib border crossing last week to date, the number of Jordanians who crossed into Syria exceeded 1,000 and counting, a custom’s officer at the crossing said on Saturday.
“On Thursday, many [Jordanian] motorists returned to their homes as the border crossing closed at 4:00pm and there were dozens of cars queuing to enter Syria but because of the long line, many had to go back,” the officer, who preferred anonymity, told The Jordan Times on Saturday.
Jordanians travel for tourism and for buying products that are cheaper in Syria such as fruits, dairy products and cigarettes....
It is only Damascus at this point, but, it is a beginning.
