Day 4 at Syria (23dec 2007)



This morning we had falafel for our breakfast. A bit different like we used to have in Oman. It taste delicious but I prefer the one in Oman though. After that we visited the Sayda Zainab Mosque. The mosque is so beautiful. The dome is made from gold n all the design in the mosque is made from crystals. Inside the mosque is the Makam Sayda Zainab – great grandchildren of Rasullullah S.A.W.

Later on we proceed to the Grand Mosque which is a must visit location for the tourist – Omayad Mosque. It’s an old mosque that once has been a church n then a mosque. We went around the mosque area to visit a few interesting places inside there.



The head & the body of Imam Hussein bin Ali burried here



The spot where Nabi Isa A.S will come down during the justice day. He will perform prayer with Imam Mahadi as the 'Imam' n then both of them will run out thru this door to catch the devil.

We later on started to mingled n shopping at the souq which is just located in front of the mosque. This is the best part for me n the girls – shopping time. We spent there till the 9pm where almost all the souqs has started to close. After that we went back to the hotel n busied packing our stuffs as we have to leave early for the airport tomorrow.
