All lined up and nowhere to go. In the former
railway station in downtown Damascus. It now seems to be a museum. |
|
|
When the sun goes down and the lights go on
in Damascus, this wonderful viewpoint above the town is the place to be. |
|
|
Right in the centre of the old part of the
city is the impressive Omayad Mosque.
Also to be seen
here. |
 |
An hours drive from Damascus takes you into
an area rich in spectacular limestone scenery. These escarpments near Maalula
go on for miles. |
 |
From a modern hotel above Maalula one can
look out over the ancient settlement where Aramaic is still spoken by the
inhabitants. |
