It would be so nice drinking a glass of hot milk and bread at the corner of a street in Damascus in early morning. What a refreshing day to start. I wish I can come back to that place one day. A city which has its own history and uniqueness that are so much to tell.

Bosra,Roman Amphitheathre
Bosra is a major archaeological site, containing ruins from Roman, Byzantine, and Muslim times, its main feature being the well preserved Roman theatre.
the theatre that can seat up 15000 people
Our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) also ever stepped in this area when he was young, following his uncle regarding to business but they were asked to go back by a padre because he felt that something bad will happen if they stayed.
Although Bosra now is a historical place, still there are families living around the ancient rocks and walls.a thing that amazed me the most. while people are looking for a castle like house, Bosra residents chose to live in a very modest way!

Jazirat Arwad (Arwad Island),Tartous
to Arwad Island
It suprised me when we will head to island that day. and i just realised that i really love boat riding because i can breath fresh sea air and enjoyed the wonderful scenery of Allah's creation.
after all this time for not eating fresh fish
The main point we went there was to visit Qal'ah Arwad (Arwad Castle), but unlucky for us since it was closed. This island once being a place for Phoenicians who used it as a secure port for their eastern Mediterranean trading routes.The Romans and Crusaders who then used that island for their benefits in security.

Souq Halawiyyaat
Halawiyyat is a kind of food that has sweet taste. Jordan also has this kind of food but not as much as in Syria. By the way, i don't like halawiyaat since i can't stand the over sweet taste.They might look good, but it can destroy your sweet tooth if you eat them overdose. pesanan bakal doktor gigi:P
