Third Day in Syria-Suq Hamidi. makam Ahlul Bait etc

salam.
3rd day of Syria trip.

i gotta say, one unique thing about Syria is, you don't have to go far to find a mosque.
i think, from one mosque to another is around 300m max?
and yet, the mosque will be full when it's prayer time. :D



i also like the buildings' design. it has a french kind of design.
i guess its cause they got colonized by the french before, thats why.

so firstly, we went to makam ahlul bait. the people buried there are either related to the Prophet Muhamad (PBUH) or are people that have contributed to Islam.


after that we went to Suq Hamidi.
its a place to shop!
lol, the prices are just the same.

i guess the specialty is that its big. so there's alot of shops.



besides that, we also went to the shrine of Salahudin al-Ayubi



this is an empty tomb given as a gift by the king of germany.
beside it, theres another tomb with Salahudin's body.

next stop was the Umayyad Mosque.
the mosque is so beautiful.



this is makam nabi yahya, which is in the mosque.



kat Syria kan, the kids are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE. lol.
i'm not really a fan of kids. haha. iuno why.
but i just couldn't stand to see them at Syria.
gosh, they were like models.
seriously. look at it yourself.
they have such round eyes. haha XD
and they look super pure.




this is the killer. the most cutest one of all.



can't stand them in winter outfits. they look so chubby XD
gahahahahha.
