Its diverse climate, ranging from arid and temperate regions to mountainous areas, along with the traces of ancient volcanic activity, has given rise to numerous hot springs and sulfuric waters scattered across the country. These springs have never been merely natural phenomena; they have been used for therapeutic purposes for thousands of years, from ancient civilizations to the Roman era, and notably in the city of Palmyra, famous for its healing baths.
