An old house in the old city

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.

I believe you know now the story behind my logo!

  1. Your home is amazing.The older houses are more quaint. The older houses have more personality. The windows are just awesome the way they are shaped.The plants are gorgeous.An orange tree, how cool is that? The black and white floor is so attractive. I wish I had a home like yours.It says beauty and home all at once.

    • Thank you, Cheryl. Yes, it’s an amazing house that I hope to see someday… When that happens, I’ll invite all my friends here to spend some nights there for free 🙂 Most old houses in Damascus are like this. I found similar while I was in Rome and Florence.

    • Oh, Sherazade. That’s wonderful to know and hope you visit it again when the war ends; hopefully soon. A lot of houses in Florence and in Trastevere Roma have similar style to those of Damascus.
