Damascus Tours | Old Damascus Travel Guide & Private Trips | Halabia Travel

Explore Old Damascus with a local guide through Straight Street, St. Ananias Church, Azem Palace, the Umayyad Mosque, Hamidiah Bazaar and the city’s living food culture.

Old Damascus is best experienced slowly, through historic lanes, courtyards, markets and places of worship. A guided route can connect Straight Street, St. Ananias Church, Asaad Pasha Caravanserai, Azem Palace, the Umayyad Mosque, Hamidiah Bazaar and traditional crafts.

Allow at least two days if you want time for the old city, local food and the surrounding cultural sites. Damascus is also a natural starting point for longer Syria itineraries through Maaloula, Saidnaya, Bosra, Palmyra, Hama, Apamea, Aleppo and Krak des Chevaliers.
