Damascus

Just decided to upload some pictures of some sightseeing tours of the past month or so. Let's start first with Damascus, the capital city of Syria. There seems to be nothing much of interest in this city. The popular spots are Umayyad Mosque, Old City and Souk Hamidiyeh. In fact, the only meaningful thing I did there was to visit some fellow colleagues who happen to be working near Damascus.

Personally, I prefer Aleppo to Damascus. Aleppo is a bit more compact but charming. Damascus, is well a city in the desert.
