Welcome to Syria !!!
Al-Hamidiyah Souq
(the market place)
The Traditional Ice-cream shop
Milk Ice-cream with nuts
The products for sale are hanging on the windows...
...where the houses are sort of beside the river...
the buyer on the street will get it through a rope...
Architecture
the buildings...
A Café on the balcony
The statue of Salahuddin (better known as Saladin),
the first Sultan of Egypt and Syria.
The remarkable Four Season Hotel
The Damascus Airport
Damascus
the old old city
An adventure to take a picture,
showing that there are always a few soldiers with weapon,
standing at the main entrance of important buildings.
Indeed, nearby Sheraton,
there are Air Force Headquarters and
the Presidential Suite & Conference Center.
and soldiers surrounding the garden...

Kind of "hope" on the roof...
Is the house gonna fall down? the answer is NO.
a mighty point of view, the church.
