How Nairn Transport built the first overland bus route across the Syrian desert

^{Published on 2025-05-12 11:21:31 -}

Before planes, the 'Desert Pullman' buses ferried passengers in air-conditioned comfort across 885 miles of unforgiving Syrian desert.

This service, which began in 1923, was renowned for its luxury and comfort, offering passengers amenities like sleeping berths, dining facilities, and even a bar, making it a preferred mode of travel across the Syrian Desert. The journey, which took about 20 hours, was not only a testament to the Nairn brothers' ingenuity in navigating the challenging desert terrain but also played a crucial role in fostering trade and cultural exchange between the regions. The service continued until 1956 when it was discontinued due to the increasing popularity of air travel and political instability in the region.
