Old Damascus in 3 Days

The day you discover that Old Damascus is not just one city but a collection of attached cities! We walk along the Straight Street — the Roman road mentioned by name in the Gospel — from its west to its east, then we enter the Tuma gate with its cafes and churches, and we end up in the alleys of the Qameriya. And in the evening: a traditional Damascene bath for those who wish, or a rooftop for those who prefer to sit quietly.
