Souq
When you want to go shopping in Damascus, there are various of places to go. I ENJOY walking alone through al Hamra, Telyani, Salhiye and al Hamidiyeh. When you are alone you have the time to just look at the buildings, "analyze" people (hehe) and just inhale the whole atmosphere. I also LOVE to go there with my father or mother. They always provide me with historical information which you just can't get enough of!
Finally! The Blue Tower is finished! We saw them put on the last letters on the top of the building. And there are palm trees now. I still dont know what the building is for? Hotel, business?
Picture taken at Sahet Arnous.
We were on our way to Faris:) You can see moun Qasioun in the back ground. I love that mountain so much... it's indescribable.
Al Hamidiyeh
This is in the beginning of souq Al Hamidyeh.
This is Sheikh al Bzooriyeh, where you cab buy all sorts of spices.
You name it they have it.
Notice the holes in the "ceiling". It is from the time when the French shot at Damascus

Welcome back dear
glad to see you are back in action , love ur blog
i also love the way you sense damascus with each breath, but just to let you know , it's not easy to analyze ppl around here :P , behind those simple faces theres a certain amount of complexity that you can sense through a simple coversation you would hold with anyone along that street
the blue tower is a hotel by the way :) a nice one actually ;)
and one more thing
the holes in the Hamidyieh souk were not made by bullets only , lil birdies achieved a part of this crime as well :D
I agree with you 100%, walking through the street of hamdieh, slahieh is priceless.
Or how about walking through old Damascus at night? man how I miss it
