Damascus

You’ll most likely enter the Old City at its western end next to the citadel —incidentally this is the only spot where the ancient walls have been torn down. The large open archway leads directly into the Suq al Hamidiyeh the largest of several interconnected serpentine bazaars. It runs in a straight line east and west to a Roman arch (once part of the Temple of Jupiter) which opens onto a large square. This is where most of the sights are to be found at close distance.
