Aleppo

Aleppo is one of the world’s most ancient cities, a true caravan crossroads where civilizations have converged for over four millennia.

Its UNESCO-listed Old City stands as a testament to its long-standing role as a vital trading hub on the Silk Road, linking East and West. At its heart lies the immense Citadel of Aleppo, a majestic 13th-century fortress built atop a massive artificial mound that dominates the skyline.

Wander the famed Souq al-Madina—a labyrinth of vaulted stone markets that were once the commercial soul of the Ottoman and Mamluk empires.

Discover architectural gems like the Great Mosque of Aleppo and the exquisite traditional houses (Beit al-Shami) that showcase Aleppine craftsmanship.

Aleppo’s identity is a rich tapestry woven from Hittite, Arab, Mamluk, and Ottoman influences, making it a unique heritage destination.

While the city has faced immense challenges, its spirit of resilience and cultural pride remains strong.
