    When at the mosque make sure that you look up and dont miss the beautiful minaret that has an amazing history behind it.

    When in Aleppo you must visit the Great Mosque, sometimes it is called by the same name as the Mosque in Damascus - or as this one is older maybe I should phrase that the other way around! As with all mosques, dress appropriatley, take off your shoes and dont visit during prayer times.

    The minaret of Aleppo's Great Mosque has been standing since 1090, when it replaced an even older one that had collapsed. This one has survived two major earthquakes, although, like the Tower of Pisa, it now leans slightly. It stands in the southern corner of the mosque. It is 47 m high, has six sections and 174 steps and it is in superb condition, which really is quite amazing for such a tall structure, nearly a thousand years old.

    The head of Zachariah, King of Israel and father of St. John the Baptist, is kept inside the Great Mosque. It is behind a gold grille. Youy can peer through this and see the head, wrapped in a green cloth, placed on top of an empty gold casket.

    The Umayyad mosque is very nice and a must see while in Aleppo. It was undergoing some light restoration but that did not ruin the beauty of the mosque courtyard.

    The floor of the courtyard is decorated by a checkerboard of black and white marble geometric patterns. It hurts your eyes and feet under the strong sun light. Like me, do it at night!
