Damascus: Tony Wheeler Slideshow - Lonely Planet Travel Video



Uploaded by: LonelyPlanet
Video Description:
Tony Wheeler, one of the founders of Lonely Planet, rediscovers the capital of Syria - Damascus. The oldest continuously-inhabited city in the world, it has a place in history and you can feel it. The winding thoroughfare 'Straight Street' is referred to in the Christian Bible. Other attractions include the Ummayad Mosque, one of the oldest and holiest in the Muslim world, and the walled Old City where you should deliberately get lost. While wandering around, look out for a very strange collection of old American cars that haven't suffered the rust of Havana's more well-known collection.

BY THE WAY ...
Byblos in Lebanon seems to have been inhabited since about 7,000 BC.
Damascus or Dimashq, the capital of Syria is considered to be the longest continuously inhabited city as recent excavation has shown that it was inhabited as early as 8,000 to 10,000 BC, although it has not been written about as an important city until about 4,000 BC.

Nice video, but don't forget that there is a 10%-christian minority, so don't be surprised that you can buy alcohol there.
Moreover Syria is one of the few Arab countries that don't regard Islam as state religion.
Good to see ... ( 1 month ago by Aurroral)
Good to see Damascus getting coverage, but i doubt he's been there for a while- the old US cars have almost disappeared under a flood of small imports and mini-buses. And he's wrong about the wine. Despite extensive research (heh, heh) I couldn't find good Syrian wine- but the beer is good. His basic advice is sound, though- see Syria soon, before the crowds discover it.
