 The train to Latakia, and
Firas! by MalenaN
I wanted to buy something to drink on the train but there was nothing. But luckly when the train stopped, sellers entered to sell soft drinks.
It took about 3,5 hours to go to Latakia. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

In the other direction the al Kouwatly street crosses the al Gassa- niyn street (sometimes called the Tilal street), on of the busiest streets in Aleppo. On the right, it widens to form a square, the Bab al Faraj, whose clock- tower has served at least as a landmark and from here; one can easily reach either the old city or the museum. The al Gassa-niyn to the left skirts the Jdeideh, "old houses" quarter, with its marvelously decorated courtyards. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

A left turn from the Baron street into the al Kouwatly street brings us to a wide esplanade recently planted out as public gardens, dominated by the Post Office and bordered on the north by a public park. The river Quweiq flows through it and it is famous for its floral displays. (It is dry today because Turkey stopped its flow years ago. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

Between the Tourist Office and the museum lies the beginning of the Baron Street, soon crossed by the al Kouwatly Street. In this part of town, there are hotels, travel agencies, transport company office, as well as some restaurants and food shops and cool fruit juice bars decorated with garlands of oranges and multi-colored jars.

 The Citadel of Aleppo by MalenaN
In Aleppo I stayed at Spring Flower Hostel and they wanted to sell me a ticket to Hamah with a morning bus and said there were no others. But of course there are, and I went to the busstation to buy one for a later bus (so I could visit the museum first). The busride to Hamah took about two and a half hours and there the bus stopped close to the tourist office (which is not too far from Cairo Hotel and Riad Hotel). In July 2002 I paid 65 SP from Aleppo to Hamah (big bus with broken AC). Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

 Children near Bab Antakya by MalenaN
From Harasta buses are leaving for Aleppo every hour. The bus company I travelled with had buses leaving every hour from 6.00 to 20.00. The bus ride between Damascus and Aleppo took 4,5 hours and was 125 SP. On the bus water is served (and a candy).
In Aleppo the bus did not stop at Karajat Hanano (Ibrahim Hanano) as it used to do, but futher away from the centre, close to the stadion. The first taxidriver wanted to have 200 SP. I said 25 SP (chamsa wa ashrin) which is the right tax for taxises within Aleppo. I found a driver who agreed to take me for 25 SP but he changed his mind in the car. When I wanted to go out of the car he changed to 25 SP again. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

Book a flight on Onur Air from Istanbul to Adana, in southern Turkey. I paid $92 for a roundtrip flight. Taking a bus would be slightly cheaper, but you save a day's worth of travel. From Adana's airport, take a taxi to the bus station. There are frequent buses to Antakya/Hatay. This will take three hours. It's a nice ride through the mountains and some stretches offer views of the Mediterranean Sea. I advise staying in Antakya at least one night so you can visit St. Peter's church. The next day, you can either take a bus or a service taxi to Aleppo. It will take three hours, which includes the time spent crossing the border and customs.
