A reason to love Syria
Other than the food, I absolutely love the Syrian ability to hang on to the heritage and modernize it without taking out the identity and the rich heritage. They rennovate ancient buildings and use them for restaurants, hotels, and even fashionable clothes stores, rather than demolish them.
Check these fantastic interior shots from the Villa Moda Boutique, a Kuwaiti franchise, that opened recently in Damascus.





Beautiful! I'm absolutely loving the red bright chandlier, the contrast with the sober stone behind it is amusing. Me wants the chandlier...

Wow! Its fantastic. I love the displays, the ambience seems to make for a much more pleasant and less frenetic shopping experience.

looks like fun, but could an American visit and not get stoned/stabbed/beheaded? I don't mean to sound sarcastic--I really want to know if it is safe to visit.

I am an Architect that was born and raised and Damascus and have been living in New York City for years. I have to say that I felt so proud and happy to see old Damascus being preserved and converted into such a beautifull and trendy place. Let's keep all that going. Syria has a lot to offer to the world. Very well done!
