Nightlife Spot: Aleppo Jazz Festival
Aleppo hosts an annual jazz festival every July. The free concerts are held in the citadel's amphitheatre. One of the sponsors of the festival is the president's wife, so the president usually attends the final night. I was sitting just ten seats away from President Bashar al-Assad and, along with a group of reporters, managed to take a photograph of him. He was smiling and relaxed. But, his bodyguard was not.
The musicians at the festival come from Europe, North America and Syria, and play a lot of Arab-jazz fusion music.

Thanks for sharing Aleppo with us. Can't wait to be there - although it's going to be a short trip. Greetings from the desert. | sandmoon Sat May 12, 2007 14:16 UTC
