The Citadel of Arwad, located on Arwad Island off the coast of Syria, is a historical fortress with roots tracing back to Phoenician times. It has served various purposes over the centuries, including as a Crusader stronghold. Due to the ongoing conflict in Syria, accessibility to Arwad Island and the citadel is severely limited and potentially dangerous. Independent travel is strongly discouraged; if visits are possible, they would likely require guidance from local authorities or organizations. Information on seasonal restrictions, costs, and visit duration is unreliable in the current environment. The political instability in the region makes it extremely difficult to ascertain the current state of preservation and tourist infrastructure.
