After seeing Aleppo, I've been a great Syria fan, and there's no way I should miss Damascus. Thanks for these great pages on this great city. 2008, Damascus' year as the city of Arab culture, should be a great time to see Damascus. | l99 Fri Aug 10, 2007 14:49 UTC
it's called mahalabia, and is indeed delicious! if only they were twice the size! it's a milk based desert, sweet, and set a bit like jelly (or jello if you're that way inclined). | gilabrand Sun Aug 20, 2006 08:25 UTC
Great travel writing. Don't suppose I'll get there myself any time soon, so it's good to have you as my armchair guide. | Kirmaus Sun Jul 3, 2005 22:11 UTC
I agree with your opinion on Sultan Hotel. There's also 1 double room without a bathroom downstairs. It's my favourite! It's big, shady and with balcony and only 16 dollars. |
