Ladies and children at the Omayyad Mosque

Street life near the mosque

Roman ruins and the souk.

A street called straight - I believe - from the book of Acts description of the conversion to Christianity of Saul of Tarsus.

Tomb of Saladin. Saladin's remains are in the sarcophagus on the left. The one on the right was a gift from Kaiser Wilhelm II.

Interior (prayer room) of the immense Omayyad Mosque

Re: Damascus (none / 1)

Thanks, it is a great place to visit despite the political issues. It's less of a draw and not as spoiled by tourism than many countries. People are generally friendly and helpful. I highly recommend it.
