| Buildings on hills of Damascus |
This is our last day in Damascus. Tomorrow morning we will rent a car and drive to Palmyra, where we will spend about three days. Here are some more photographs from the Old City.

| Kahn As'ad Pasha |
The Kahn As'ad Pasha, built in 1752, is one of the finest pieces of architecture in the old city. There are eight domes surrounding a circular central window over a fountain. Below is one of the domes.

The Sharia al-Qaimariyya runs east from steps on the eastern side of the Umayyad Mosque (see yesterday's post). Sections of it are shaded by vines. Some of the most interesting shops I found were on this street. Actually, it's more of a narrow alley than a street.
