Things to Do in Damascus
Damascus
The capital of Syria, with a brilliant old town and souq, Damascus is worth at least a few days of your travel time. Unfortunately accommodation costs have risen to crazy levels (if you're a budget traveller), but most other things are cheap and wandering the old city, the souq and exploring the old houses and khans within is largely free.
