Tour description

 ✨ Step into the beating heart of Damascus, one of the oldest cities on Earth 🌍, where every stone holds a thousand stories. This isn’t just a walk — it’s a journey through time, tradition, and the soul of Syria 🇸🇾. 

We begin at the historic gates of the Old City 🚪, and from there, the adventure unfolds: 

  • 🕌 Umayyad Mosque – an awe-inspiring marvel of Islamic architecture and spirituality.
  • 🐉 Tomb of Saladin – where the legendary warrior sleeps beside the very mosque he once revered.
  • 🧭 Straight Street – the ancient road mentioned in the Bible, where echoes of saints and merchants still linger.
  • 🏛️ Azem Palace – a beautifully preserved Ottoman residence that whispers stories of nobility and family life.
  • 🛍️ Al-Hamidiyah Souq – a whirlwind of scents, colors, and sounds where you can truly feel the pulse of Damascus.
  • 🍦 Bakdash Ice Cream – a nostalgic taste explosion, made the traditional way and loved by generations.


Every step comes with stories, secrets, and connections you won’t find in guidebooks. This tour isn’t scripted — it’s passion-led, immersive, and unforgettable. 💬 You’ll walk away with more than photos — you’ll leave with memories, meaning, and maybe even a few local friends.

📍 The journey ends right in the buzzing heart of the old city, where tradition meets everyday life.

🚶‍♂️ Spots are limited. Don’t just visit Damascus — feel it.
👉 Book now, and let the city reveal itself to you.
