It is virtually impossible to get a visa at the border to go to Syria. I have heard of one guy being successful after a long, long wait... I am talking ten days... Syrian visas generally need to be gotten in YOUR country of origen. Then they will rip you off for road taxes and other fees upon entry into the country.
The country, however, is well worth the visit. Palmyra, Damascus, Crac de Chevalier are all worth a trip.
Have fun
