It was around Christmas time when my husband and I were invited to attend a wedding in Lebanon,and since the Saudi Airline didn`t use to fly to Lebanon(back then),we decided to go to Damascus by plane,,then travel to Lebanon by car,the journey is very nice and remarkable,but when we got to Damascus we thought......this is a very unique city,let`s stay in for one night then we hit the road to Lebanon the next day. and so it was!
- Pros:Great food & cheap prices!
- Cons:Harsh weather in summer and winter!

It's been a while since I visited so I decided to meet you in Damascus. Only virtually, alas.
Hoping to meet up with all my dear Syrian friends in their homeland very very soon(Inshallah) in the coming year.
Nice pages, althought no so huge as they probably should be ;-)
really hope to go soon
I agree with you that Damascus is a unique city. Nice page!
wow, I had no idea that it would be such a big city.
Impressive picture. Come to Syria again, we will meet together
Neat page..lots of info...highly useful
