Damascus City Breaks

Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to check out the attractions of Damascus as you will quickly become absorbed in this city of magnificent mosques, Ottoman mansions and narrow streets. Imagine the Citadel in all its glory when it protected the city, learn about ancient daily life in the Azem Palace and admire the Umayyad Mosque in the old medieval city. Infiltrate the hectic Souk el-Hamidiyya crammed with everything you need,  feast on a traditional mezze in a converted mansion, appreciate the giddying Dervish dancers and take a late-night coffee on a rooftop terrace.
