Damascus, one of the oldest cities in the world, in the matter of fact, the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world. It's history dates back to the 10th Century BC.

In our days, the city is the capital of Syria, about 6 million people live in the city. A Muslim majority and Christian minority live in peace and harmony, a heaven of political stability in a region torn by political conflicts.

The city has much to offer, a mixture of the past and the present. Damascus is the people who lives in it... A strange mixture of communities, different in traditions, believes and political views, yet in a magical way united under the summer sky of Damascus.

In July and August it gets very hot but the humidity is low, what makes it a good place for heat lovers, or for swimming pools fans. However summer nights are just great. It rains often in October and November, sometimes it snows in January and February, and early spring in February then in March it gets cold again, The wind blows in April and brings Spring along with it, and the smell of Jasmine fools men into falling in love.

Damascus is a city of love and magic, at least through my eyes, behind every door and every smile a hidden love story. The smells, the colors of Orange and Red, makes it exotic in one sin, and warm in another. Nothing can be compared with a walk in the old city at 3am, and a taboo Frensh-kiss with your loved one.

Una leyenda cuenta que Mahoma, en lo alto de la montaña, contempló la ciudad de Damasco pero rehusó entrar en ella diciendo las siguientes palabras que tanto les gusta recordar a los sirios: “Al paraíso sólo se accede en el momento de morir”. Y es que en su día la milenaria ciudad levantada a las orillas del Río Barada tuvo un gran esplendor por la calidad de sus construcciones y la preciosidad de sus calles, sin contar que fue conocida como El jardín del mundo por su pomposa flor...
