The exotic places you can fly to from Doha - Cairo, Istanbul, Muscat, Imam Khomaini (wherever that may be) and of course Damascus. Has a different ring from Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne….
Seen as we took off from Doha. Not sure what it is, but it looks like a development that begins with palm trees.
Landing in Damascus. Red seems to be the colour for tanks.
View from our hotel room in the afternoon sun.
I couldn’t get enough of this view.
The main streets going up the mountain looked really steep.
Even the box in the bathroom for the shampoo etc looked exotic.
View from the terrace of our hotel. Yes, that’s right – the purple ones are jacarandas.
Night view over the pool from the terrace. Pat knows how to pick his hotels!
Even by walking past the hotel gift shop, you could tell we were in Damascus.
Then, we were lucky enough to see some Turkish dancers rehearsing for a function.
Looks like a very dangerous dance (but that is not a severed hand to the left).
