  • Again in wonderland,.
    Inside this mosque,there is the grave of Sayyida Ruqayya daughter of the martyr Hussein of Kerbala. I do not know this martyr but he seemed very important for people there.In this mosque, iranian style, women and men do not pray together, there is a different entrance.

  • I always look for and appreciate local markets, but the ones I love more are definitly arab souks, I never found anywhere else so much variety of colours, smells, tastes.
    This the most important souk in Damascus and it is definitly a must see, I could have spent the day there simply tasting their icecreams, their sweats, wandering through shops and watching the life go on.
