Local Customs: Home from the Haj
  • Tip Rating:
  • As you walk through the souk, you will notice many stalls are hung with green and red bunting, or flags are strung across the vaulted roof. This is done to welcome home someone returning from Mecca.

    Local Customs: It's an honour
  • Tip Rating:
  • Many Muslims regard it as a great honour to be buried in the proximity of a saint or a learned man. The graves here are to be seen beside the lonely tomb of the 14th Century holy man, Nebi Houri, at Cyrrhus, in the far north of Syria - as isolated but beautiful a spot as you could imagine.

     A beautifully written refresher on Aleppo, my favourite city in Syria. Going back again next week and not yet believing it. Cheers from NYC!

     Reading your well-written pages is such a delight. Makes me more excited about a forthcoming visit to the city, albeit a very short one. Cheers from the desert!

     Aleppo kept the oldest complete manuscript of the Hebrew Bible, approximately one-third of it, including nearly all of the Torah, has been missing since 1947: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleppo_Codex

     Loved reading about the souks. I'm curious as to why you say no photos in the medieaval market? Do the shopkeepers take exception to that?
