'Mode': TO
Category: Airplane
Getting TO/AROUND: From the UAE, there are direct flights to Aleppo via Air Arabia from Sharjah (north of Dubai). Air Arabia is a budget, no-frills airline, so don't expect service ala-Emirates. The planes are OK though, and snacks are sold onboard at reasonable prices. I booked my ticket on Air Arabia's website for 740 dirhams (about 200 US dollars), return, inclusive of taxes. Interestingly, while canvassing prices, I've noticed that prices tend to be higher during weekdays (Sun-Thu in the UAE), so I booked my ticket on a Friday. I'm not sure if this is a general rule or something that is specific to this sector at that time of the year (late Nov).

'Mode': AROUND

Getting TO/AROUND: Taxis in Aleppo are not that expensive, so there is no need to scrimp and brave the chilly Aleppine winter. Taxis around the major areas of interest within the city - Al Jdeida, old city/Citadel/souq, Bab Al Faraj - should not cost you more than 50 Syrian pounds or 1 US dollar. From the airport, skip those shared taxis (those vans) and get the regular 'metered' taxis - but the catch is you need to agree on the price beforehand. I paid 250 pounds (about 5 US dollars) from the airport to Sheraton hotel at the city center. From the city to the airport, it should be cheaper - paid 200 pounds which the friendly cabbie was very thankful for.
