Aleppo

by Groverdean - last update: Jul 1, 2005

View of Aleppo from The Citadel-Syria
Even coming from Turkey I got a real sense of culture shock when I hit Aleppo. Aleppo is Syria's second largest city and it was here that I got my first real sense of I am in the Middle East. Its a fascinating destination. Sights to visit include the covered souqs, citadel, museum and caravanserais. You must spend a few days here.
The Citadel Walls-Aleppo
The citadel dominates the city skyline and as you can see, creates some spectacular pictures.

 The old cars must have been a blast from the past. Great tips on the History!

 I have been to Aleppo twice but still haven't seen the Great Mosque. It is closed for reparations. Nice tips!
