Damascus.
This day is entirely dedicated for the sightseeing of Damascus. We will explore the national museum of Damascus, the Omayyad mosque surrounded by old pagan temple walls( which was largely reconstructed , according to the ancient plan , after a disastrous fire in 1893 ), the straight street of Damascus, which is mentioned in the new Testament in reference to St.Paul, who recovered his sight & baptized in Damascus. Free time to stroll in the old bazaars of Damascus then head to Qasioun mountain. Back to your hotel, dinner & O/N. |
