Location

Ebla Cham Palace is located halfway between the International Airport and Damascus, just in the middle of Ghouta gardens. Damascus Airport is at a distance of 13 kilometers from the Ebla Cham Palace.

Damascus is a crowded metropolis of 4 million people and is the chief manufacturing and trading center of Syria. Most of the main sites of interest are found in or near the Old City including the workshops that still make Damask silk brocade, carpets, gold and silver filigree jewelry and beautiful inlaid woodwork.

Despite rapid urbanization, Damascus still retains some of the many orchards and private gardens that made the city famous. It is a delight encountering groves of apricot, almond and quince growing so close to the noisy heart of a modern city. A specialty of Damascus and a treat not to be missed are crystallized apricots and apricot delights sold in abundance in the city's souqs.

The minimum time required to see Damascus is two days but five would be best. The sites that are a must are Souq Hamidiye, the Citadel, Nur al-Din Hospital and Museum, Madrasas Zahiriye and Adiliye, the Tomb of Salah al-Din, and the Omayyad Mosque - a feature interesting to Christians is the South-East minaret, named Mazanet Souk, the Tower of Jesus. According to Muslim tradition Jesus will descent to earth via this tower to fight the Antichrist before the Day of Judgment. Also the Azem Palace museum and Souq Assagha (the gold market).

Do not miss a visit to the Hammam al-Malik al-Zaher (Turkish style steam room, massage room, and bath). Dating from the 11th or 12th century the baths have been completely restored and modernized. They cater only to men. It is one of the few places left in the world where men can still enjoy Arabic coffee and a narghile (water-pipe).
