Скачать или смотреть Damascus, Night walk in Sha'alan Street| دمشق, الشعلان

A night walk on the famous Shaalan Street in the center of the Syrian capital, Damascus, on Wednesday, September 8, 2023.
The beginning of the Shaalan neighborhood dates back to the beginning of the French occupation of Syria, when it was built as a suburb separate from old Damascus. It was designated for housing the French and Italians in Damascus, and soon attracted a number of Damascene families, especially government employees, later becoming one of the most famous neighborhoods in Damascus ever.
The neighborhood is named after Nuri Al Shaalan, the chieftain of Ruwallah tribe who bought the house of the Iraqi politician Yasin al-Hashimi in the region in the 1920s, and built a mosque there.
