Syria / Aleppo / The entrance to the Citadel. One of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, Aleppo preserves remnants of more than four millennia of Near Eastern history. The Citadel of Aleppo is a densely layered microcosm of this long and complex history. The majority of the structures on the citadel were erected by the Ayyubids in the 12th and 13th centuries, but substantial structures are also preserved from the Ottoman period (beginning in the 16th century). © Fausto Giaccone/Anzenberger/ASK Images Aleppo, Syria

Syria / Aleppo / The Aleppo souk, probably the best one in The Middle East, is covered by stone archways for about 30km. This makes it the longest covered souk in the Middle East. Once the most important trade area in Syria, a complicated maze of narrow cobbled streets forms this magnificent Bazaar.†Apart from the Khans, there are many separate souks: cloth, yarns, gold, Women's clothes, and the spice souk (where you can enjoy a wonderful mixture of odors.) © Fausto Giaccone/Anzenberger/ASK Images Aleppo, Syria
