من باب الجابية لباب شرقي.. أجمل مسار للمشي في دمشق

Welcome to another installment of our "Damascus Diaries" series. Today, we'll stroll along one of the world's oldest and most historic streets, "Straight Street," in Old Damascus, experiencing the fragrance of jasmine and the spirituality of the place. Our journey begins at Bab al-Jabiyah (the western gate of Damascus) and the Sinaniyah Mosque, then we'll delve into the covered Midhat Pasha Souq, where the authenticity of handicrafts, from textiles and abayas to the historic khans of Damascus, comes together, telling the stories of merchants and travelers through the ages. We'll pass through the Al-Bazouriyah Souq, inhaling the aroma of spices and Damascene herbs, before arriving at the Bab Sharqi area, where minarets meet ancient churches and art galleries (antiques), in a scene that embodies coexistence and the architectural beauty of Damascus. In this video, you will see: ✅ The Sinaniyah Mosque and the history of Bab al-Jabiyah. ✅ A detailed tour of the Midhat Pasha Souq and the historic khans. ✅ The Al-Bazouriyah intersection and the famous Zaatar al-Arjawi. ✅ The Roman Arch and the Eastern Quarter of Damascus. ✅ Bab Sharqi district and its heritage hotels, such as "Beit Zaman."
