Damascus (Arabic: دمشق Dimashq IPA: [ˈdiːmaːʃq]) is the capital and the second-largest city of Syria after Aleppo. It is commonly known in Syria as ash-Sham (Arabic: الشام ash-Shām) and nicknamed as the City of Jasmine (Arabic: مدينة الياسمين Madīnat al-Yāsmīn). In addition to being one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, Damascus is a major cultural and religious center of the Levant. The city has an estimated population of 1,711,000 as of 2009.
Located in southwestern Syria, Damascus is the center of a large metropolitan area of 2.6 million people (2004). Geographically embedded on the eastern foothills of the Anti-Lebanon mountain range 80 kilometres (50 mi) inland from the eastern shore of the Mediterranean on a plateau 680 metres (2,230 ft) above sea-level, Damascus experiences a semi-arid climate because of the rain shadow effect. The Barada River flows through Damascus.
First settled in the second millennium BC, it was chosen as the capital of the Umayyad Caliphate from 661 to 750. After the victory of the Abbasid dynasty, the seat of Islamic power was moved to Baghdad. Damascus saw a political decline throughout the Abbasid era, only to regain significant importance in the Ayyubid and Mamluk periods. During Ottoman rule, the city decayed while maintaining a certain cultural prestige. Today, it is the seat of the central government and all of the government ministries.

Damaskus ist eine der schönsten Städte des Orients. 10 Minuten sind eigentlich zu wenig, um einen Eindruck von dieser pulsierenden Stadt zu bekommen. Erlebt unter anderem den Märtyrerplatz, das Nationalmuseeum (ein absolutes Muss!), schlecnder über den Suq und erlebt arabisches Flair um die Omyyaden-Moschee,. Der Azim-Palast besticht wegen seiner genialen Gartenbau-Architektur. Ein Besuch des Saladin-Mausoleums, der Omyyaden-Moschee und eines römischen Bades zeigt auch die Offenheit der Araber gegen über Gästen. Un immer wieder geht es durch romantische Gassen. Das friedliche Miteinander lässst sich im Christienviertel gut dokumentieren. In der Paulus-Kapelle wurde der Saulus zum Paulus, schön ist auch die Ananias-Kapelle. Die Bilder entstanden auf einer Reise von Eberhardt TRAVEL
Jens-Uwe Rahe sieht Zeichen für Syriens Wandel in der Altstadt von Damaskus Ein Besuch in Damaskus passt so gar nicht zu Syriens Image als Schurkenstaat. Unser Reporter streift durch die Altstadt und entdeckt erstaunliche Zeichen des Wandels: Osmanische Wohnhäuser werden liebevoll restauriert, Geschäftsleute investieren, Künstler eröffnen Galerien. Die noch vor wenigen Jahren geschmähte Altstadt gehört heute zu den gefragtesten (und teuersten) Quartieren in Syrien. Der VJ besucht einen Bildhauer, der einen alten Stadtpalast wieder herrichtet, er trifft einen jungen Deutsch-Syrer, der eine Sportschule gründet, er begleitet eine deutsche Planerin, die gerade ein GTZ-Projekt anschiebt. Vor allem aber trifft er selbstbewusste Bürger, die ihr Lebensumfeld selbst gestalten wollen - ungewöhnli...

"Getting lost within the maze of Old Damascus's narrow lanes and walkways is like stepping into ancient history."

Years ago, you said to me,
"I think I'm losing the fight,
Or the fight's losing me, I'm not certain,"
And here we are-the closing scenes,
And all the house lights come up,
Oh, the falling of our final curtain...
I've played a role for so long that I've forgotten myself,
But I said I'd be there and I'm keeping my word,
You've played yourself so well,
And now I want to be you,
A great imitation of losing my nerve.
Oh, it's over,
And everything is wrong, everything has gone,
And I know that everything means nothing,
Oh, it's over,
But I don't want to fight, I don't want to be right,
I know that everything means nothing,
On the road to Damascus they fell.
I saw the light-I saw the light!
But hey, it never saw me,
Oh, conversation has just left me heathen,
And we could wait a thousand years,
Perhaps a million or more,
If it's worth waiting for, but I'm leaving,
So on to a mecca of earthly delights,
Depression is only desire deprived,
Once more unto the breach and fuck my getting it right,
We've died for so long, let's just get out alive.
'Cause it's over,
And everything is wrong, everything has gone,
And I know that everything means nothing,
Oh, it's over,
But I don't want to fight, I don't want to be right,
I know that everything means nothing,
On the road to Damascus they fell,
Well I've been to Damascuc.
It's hell, hell is where I'm gonna be,
The devil my intimate friend,
And hell is other people's hearts,
And knowing that everything must end.
Oh, it's over...
And everything is wrong, everything has gone,
And I know that everything means nothing,
Oh, it's over,
But I don't want to fight, I don't want to be right,
I know that everything means nothing,
On the road to Damascus they fell,
