Take me to a place that I once knew




















**at As3ad Basha's home, al azem palace.

So I'm back from Syria. I didn't expect to have such a great time.
I feared and expected the worst. BUT.. I had so much fun!!
I just loved walking around sham (damascus).
Looking, observing,hearing, smelling, inhaling all that Syria had to offer.

I'll just post a few pictures I took. Yes, they were all taken by me ;)
oh and it was FREEZING there :/
enjoy!


A tribute to Salahadeen Al Ayoubi. I love this statue. Everytime I go to Syria I take the exact same picture. He is the man.



I love prayer beads. Everytime I pass a stall in the khans (souks, bazzars) I am always tempted to buy soo many beads. I love the vibrant colors.


The pastry/breads looked so delicious, I had to take a picture. The baker was happy I wanted to take a picture, he even posed for me. woosa.



Spices and herbs galore!!

Hamam Al Souk (the baths). I randomly came across this one
at the Khan As3ad Basha. When I showed my friends here they said
its famous, when anyone from the khaleej goes to Sham
they go to this hamam. okkkkkkkkkkkkk.

And More pictures to come INSHALLAH, im not done. I took a ton of pics.
