This is my house. In Damascus, most of the old houses are similar.
The man in the video below is my Father. He used to clean the yard and do the maintenance of the house by his own hands like other old men do there. I talked about my Father in another post: Home is where the heart is. Sorry for the quality of the video; it was taped by an old camera in 2010.
I believe you know now the story behind my logo!

What a lovely home. It looks like your garden was in an atrium. Beautiful. Mohamad, how did you choose Qatar over other countries? I would love to learn more about that place, too. Sending you hugs. It must be so hard to see these pictures with all that is going on in Syria.
Thank you, Linda. Life isn’t easy but with nice people like your good self around us, things are better for sure. I’ll write about Qatar in the near future hopefully.
Like this home style, it is really a type of Syria home styles!
Thank you, Hussein. Yes, it’s typical. Most of the houses there are very similar. Of course, some might be larger, with more antiques, …
Such a lovely home, Mohamad! Thank you for sharing personal garden & architectual photos. 🎶 Christine
You’re welcome, Christine. Thank you for your kind words too…
What a beautiful home. Loved the music too! May your father rest in paradise. Thank you for sharing💗
Thank you too, Mina. Isn’t the music wonderful?
It truly is!💗
Wow. To a very modern-day Australian this is like something out of a book or movie. Rustic, rural, lush, private. I imagine it must be very difficult for you to revisit these images (and video) of your dad and Syria knowing that one has passed over and the other is in such dire predicament at the moment. I hope one day Syria returns to this scene of tranquillity. Thank you for sharing something so personal.
I’m glad you like it, Jess. Those words describe it very well. When things get better, I’ll invite you so you can write your next novel there 🙂
Oh imagine writing in that space! It would truly be awe-inspiring! 🤗
I was studying there. It’s really inspiring….
Such a gentle lifestyle. Thank You for sharing this; it must evoke many memories for you.
Thank you Carolyn for your kind words. Yes, a lot of memories. Life should be lived though.
Ouldnt see the video but beautiful heart(h) and home!
Thank you very much. I’m glad people are liking these about the world’s oldest city (or one of the oldest).
Welcome:)
Absolutely beautiful and serene!! These memories are always a treasure…
Hope one day Damascus will revive from all these and you will go back again.. 😊
Yes, memories are part of us. Thank you for the kind words. Amen, and all of you will be invited…
You are welcome Sir 😊
Your home is beautiful, Mohamad. I love the architectural designs and the garden.Thanks for sharing! 🙂
You’re most welcome and thank you too. This house (like most of the others there) is hundreds of years old. Many generations have lived in it. So, the designs are very old!
It’s my pleasure. I love those older houses, they have a lot of history and are very interestingly!
That’s true.. . Hopefully I’ll invite you all when things are settled there and they will definitely
What a lovely house. Thanks for giving us a peek inside.
I’m glad you like it. After all, it’s very similar to others in the old part of the city
I’ve always been fascinated by old buildings that are still being lived in and enjoyed, long after their original owners are gone. Sadly Australia is such a young country there’s little that truly /old/ here.
We used to make jokes about the ghosts of previous dead owners! Hehehe.
I met wonderful people from Australia. And people not stones are what matter at the end!
-grin- Not sure I believe in ghosts but…it’d be fun to see one.
And yes, you’re right, life is what matters. Always. 🙂
