This morning we went to visit the Makam Nabi Qabil (the son of Nabi Adam A.S). The journey was quite far from the Damascus town. It is up on the mountain. The view is so beautiful. We were told that behind the mountain is the Israel land. So along our journey to the Makam place we saw many army n satellite around.
Later on we proceed to the other place where the snow had come down. It was raining last night n we were so lucky that the snow had become thicker. We drove thru a few small towns which reminds me of Hadnyai. It was 10.00am in the morning n it's Friday n most of the shops are still not opened yet.
After past by the Buqqein town we went up to the mountain to a 'strategic' location to play with the snow. Once reached there we were all very excited. Well.. u can imagine we never seen n touched snow before.. sakai ah kejap.. hehehehhe.. My kids just totally forgot the freezing n the coldness that they were complaining before.
They touched, played, jumped n even lied down on the snow (ala-ala cita hindustan). They threw the snowball to each other. Sadly Hakeem missed this part as he was sleeping n we left him in the car. We were enjoying ourselves for about an hour.
We went back up to the town to perform the Friday prayer. Then the driver continued n brought us back to a different part of mountain to play with the snow. This new place had a very beautiful view. We can see the small town n big spread mountain. But the snow has melted a bit. But we had good time already at the previous place.
Later on we had lunch at one of the restaurant up the mountain there. We just love the Syrian rice. It's so yummy. We then were brought to visit the Makam for all the Syrian's heroes.
Our last destination was to view the Damascus town from up the mountain. It was night at that time. It's so freezing cold n windy. The view was so beautiful. We had our tea at the ‘warung’ there where’s the price was like Starbuck coffee!
