    Getting TO/AROUND: Driving to Aleppo through the Damascus road coming from Homs, Hama and Idleb can be a little boring due to its monotonous landscape. The hill at the entrance of Aleppo hides the city completely. Once the driver starts to descend through the suburbs people will be certainly surprised by the romantic feeling of the city.

    Getting TO/AROUND: The Damascus road ends in a wide esplanade leading up to the ramparts of the old city - the first houses rise above their towers. Beneath them are little shops and stalls. To the right are the bus station and a vast open market always thronged with people. To the left, behind the flowerbeds is the Tourist Information Office. Opposite, is a large, low simple building that houses a rich collection of the archaeological museum. It can be identified by some mythological animals on the lawns outside.

    Getting TO/AROUND: Between the Tourist Office and the museum lies the beginning of the Baron Street, soon crossed by the al Kouwatly Street. In this part of town, there are hotels, travel agencies, transport company office, as well as some restaurants and food shops and cool fruit juice bars decorated with garlands of oranges and multi-colored jars.

    Getting TO/AROUND: A left turn from the Baron street into the al Kouwatly street brings us to a wide esplanade recently planted out as public gardens, dominated by the Post Office and bordered on the north by a public park. The river Quweiq flows through it and it is famous for its floral displays. (It is dry today because Turkey stopped its flow years ago.

    Getting TO/AROUND: In the other direction the al Kouwatly street crosses the al Gassa- niyn street (sometimes called the Tilal street), on of the busiest streets in Aleppo. On the right, it widens to form a square, the Bab al Faraj, whose clock- tower has served at least as a landmark and from here; one can easily reach either the old city or the museum. The al Gassa-niyn to the left skirts the Jdeideh, "old houses" quarter, with its marvelously decorated courtyards.

     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
