  • Name of Shop: what name?

    I did not find any shop.. but IO fell in love with these coats as soon as I saw them. Eventually I asked a taxi driver about it: he knew where one could be people (possibly in a private house or something).

    What To Buy: wonderful men coats with decorative embroideries.. all hand made... and normally with sheep skin inside for extra warmth

    What To Pay: about 100 $ or more for a really good one. A bit too bulky and expensve so I gave it a miss - but it was wonderful.

     I visited the site and Rhia is 100% right. Try to avoid those guys on the motor bikes.. You don't want to tamper with the Government in Syria and do illegal things.

     The Krak has always been one of my dream destinations... It's a pity to U have crowds there too! Syrian chocolate? I would have never thought of that, LOL
