Damascus It is a dream place where many tourists make their dreams come true by moving through the streets of ancient Arabia. Many other areas are very beautiful but they are as authentic as the Syrian capital. Damascus has always existed in a kind of virtual time tunnel, in which a socialist regime is mixed with great attempts to modernize the city. Although the regime has denied Syrians large-scale luxury, the city has managed to preserve its charm in all corners.
If you decide to visit the city, you will discover how you can visit it through its narrow streets meandering. You will surely be fascinated by the wooden balconies that you will be able to observe carefully. Enjoy a good afternoon in a traditional hammam, and meditate on your travel and the dream that you are living in the most historical mosques. The best of all, however, is to taste a few cups of sweet tea in the cafes that you will find around the corners of the busiest streets.
