A kind of longing to return… I have no idea what I like about it, for I have not been there yet until now (in this lifetime).
It is just that I have long had the feeling that I need and want to go there to remember who I am as an early aspect of humankind. Sounds strange perhaps to many people, but such it is. The place resounds with me when I tune into it. That's all there is to it. A kind of longing to return to a place that was once home to me.

Cheers aye,

Fortresses, Churches, Mosques, Temples… It’s all there … today standing and still watching the different civilizations pass by, just as it has been for thousands of years… Palmyra, Maaluula and even more today Aleppo being the capital of Islamic culture… Culture, culture and more culture that is what is so special about Syria today… It is truly worth visiting. What appeals to me so much are the very historic Arabian houses in the narrow streets of Damascus; I have always wanted to see what it’s like there…

Syrian Entertainment… The comedy, especially Syrian drama, the dancers, the food Syrian Cuisine and music is certainly a must for me to see when I do have the chance to visit Syria…

Scenery… I have always longed to see the mountains overlooking Damascus especially in winter as friends have told me how appealing it is enjoying fine Syrian cuisine in warm cozy restaurants on the mountains which overlook Damascus… Even better in summer the cooler breeze is so nice while having a glimpse at Damascus below…

Damascus the Beautiful … art, history, Arabian culture, literature, antiques, markets and café’s centuries old, temples, fortresses, mosques and churches, Arabian houses, Turkish baths and friendly people just to name a little… It’s all in one place and there to see!
