Damascus: Al Hamidiyeh Souq 12.05.2010

Even though I have described our visit to Al Hamidiyeh Souq (Day out in Damascus 12.05.2010, published 14.05.2010), I wanted to add some more photos of this magical place.

Way in to souq

On the way in to the souq.  How old is this wall?

Holes in the arched roof of the main thoroughfare look like sparkling stars.

 

France Palace

Not sure if this is what you would actually wear in a French palace, but it looked good in a Damascan souq.

 

Bakdash

Bakdash Icecream – yes!

 

Gold souq

Don’t think I’ve ever seen so much gold in the one place before.

“Slipping into something more comfortable” Damascan style.

 

Sparkly material

So much in the souq seemed to sparkle…..

 

Table runners

Table runners…..

 

Sparkly denim

Even denim jeans were given the sparkly treatment.
