omayyad mosque

I jst come back from syria, it was fantastic! We have spent 1 day in damascus, and I have now the impression to have spent 1 week there!

Let's start with the omayyad mosque. This is the most outstanding monuments of Damascus. The mosaic which decorate the walls of the mosque are meant to be the most stunning mosaics in the world. At least they are the most stuning I have ever seen so far!



If you are in short, make sure you go through the clothes room first, and cover yourself with the cloak they provide before entering the mosque.



The atmosphere is magical, just sit inside, take a nap if you are tired, and enjoy the peace of the place.
