In the heart of Syria, where the Orontes River flows gently, wooden waterwheels turn, powered by nothing but water and gravity, creating a sound that the locals say is the heartbeat of the city.

What you can do

  • Standing before the Muhammad Ali waterwheels, the largest and most famous, and the iconic feature of its stone bridges.
  • Understanding the mechanism step by step — and you’ll be surprised by its simplicity more than its size.
  • The tranquility in the garden of the Orontes between the clusters of nearby waterwheels (the Bashar and the Kilan)
  • Enjoying tea or coffee at a riverside café with the sound of the waterwheels in the background.

Additional Information

  • Important information for you before booking: The duration of the tour is linked to the water level. The best seasons to see them in full force are spring and the beginning of summer; during dry seasons, some may stop. We will update the status of the waterfalls for each group before your scheduled time.
  • The best time for photography is before sunset — the golden light on the polished wood creates a picture that needs no editing.
  • The tour is set on a comfortable path along the riverbank, suitable for both seniors and children.
  • The ground near the waterfalls can be slippery and wet due to the mist — be mindful of your steps, and comfortable footwear is recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions

Some of them have been operating in the same way for centuries. The duration depends on the water flow, so it can vary from season to season — we will inform you of its status before the tour to avoid surprises.

 

Two hours of leisurely walking along the riverbank, with a stop at a cozy spot. No special fitness level is required, and it's suitable for those looking for a light activity between travel stops.

 

Yes, from the age of 5. Children are usually the most fascinated by the size and sound of the waterfall, but we recommend keeping them close to the riverbank.

Definitely. Hama is located at a midpoint between Homs and Aleppo, making it an ideal stop for a day tour. Let us know when booking so we can arrange the timing.

 

Allowed and encouraged. For the best photography experience, we recommend the 'Individual Traveler or Private Group' option as the timing can be flexible and adjusted to sunset.
