that`s correct bro. normally when i travel(hardly outside middle east) i just love to see old side of any country.
tall modern building don`t grab my attention. i hardly go to malls instead i go old markets and fish market too.lol

Hyper nice pics i'm fascinated with old buildings and ruins
Syria is very rich in History , Assyrian, Phoenician ,Greek, Persian , Roman ,Christian , and Islamic ones.
plus Mesopotamia (Syria and Iraq) civilizations were first to master agriculture and cattle domestication,cradle of civilization indeed.

i like the old city of Damascus

yes brother, no matter how many times you visit it, it's just beautiful as first time you ever see it.

I ll contribute to this thread bal, starting with the hisotrical religous sites


the oldest market in Damascus -Suuq Al-xamideyah. is a little over two centuries old



50 years ago,this is how it looked like




The Ummayad Mosque in Damascus, one of the oldest mosques in islam(almost thousand yrs old) and the site where prophet Issa will come down on at the end of the time to kill the anti christ. the final battle between the believers and the non-belivers at the end of the time will take place in a place not that far from the Ummayad mosque


this small and elevated structure is the tomb of Salah AL-Deen AL-ayoubi,the famou muslim General who defeated the crusaders and ejected them from Jerousalem.

the statue of Salahu al-deen al ayoubi


inside the Ummayad mosque,notice the art on the wall,its all hand made and a master piece of islamic art



masjid Zaynab, an important shia shrine and more than half million Iranis cross the border every year to pilgrimage to it, and ask for intercession.

women wailing at the zaynab shrine



then you have the place where the first crime in humanity took place,where the son of Adam Haabil(abel) killed his brother Qaabil(Cain),its called the blood cave.notice Haabil's blood in still on the cave walls





they built a masjid on it, there is sufficient amount of xaith that the Dua (supplications) in this place are acceptable, and many prophets took refuge in this spot from their people.


i ll post more when I get time

Amazing photos
