Meet Essalameh!

Of all the towns of Syria it is Aleppo that leaves the profoundest impression upon the visitor.
Come and visit one of the oldest continuously inhabitant city in the world. Come and see: The ramparts, Bab Antakia, the al Bharamyah Mosque, the covered souks, the Great Mosque and neighboring building, the Citadel, the Jedeide district ("Old houses", St. George Cathedral, antique shops), the souk of coppersmiths, the al Mahmandar Mosque, the Armenian churches, the Archaeological Museum, the Public Gardens and Zoo, the University quarter, the al Firdows Madrassa, Bab Qinnesrin, the Bimarstan (asylum) Arghoun al Kamili, the Cotton souk (caravansaries and neighboring building), the al Atroush Mosque (and other buildings nearby) the Museum of Popular Art and Traditions (in the Ageckbash Palace).

Omayyad Mosque

Of course your stay in Aleppo should be at least three days, and also you can extend your stay to another three days to see some of the sight further afield: Qalaat Samaan, al Bara, Cyrrhus, al Thaura, Rasafah, etc.

I spent an unforgettable day in Aleppo, Thank you Fouad for everything, you offered a good help to me, and also I'm inviting you to visit me in Jableh, thank you very much.

    The Citadel this is a place I would love to see. We have very similar souk to The covered Souk in Jeddah in Qabil St. I thin Halab and Jeddah are very similar. Umayad Mosque is also my next step after visiting Halab :o). Wait for me Rami& Fouad. Majed
