About Damascus

Syria’s capital and its political and cultural heart, with thousands of years of history. It pairs the walled Old City — souqs and the Umayyad Mosque — with upscale modern districts like Malki, Abu Rumaneh, and Mezzeh on the slopes of Mount Qasioun. Its property market is the largest and most in-demand in the country.
