umu zakaria Posted January 1, 2008 Maansha Allah. Historic city. I do miss the large shawarmas. I went there for my honeymoon, i always wanted to go somalia but it was not safe so i choose syria. I did find the traffic very annoying with all the honking but rest was wonderful short stay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Urban Posted January 1, 2008 ^lol@honking. Even when the traffic lights are Red walahi, there's always someone I remember walking through most of those places, especially Suuq al Xamiidiya. Seriously, if you're a foreigner in that market, the shop owners will hunt you like hungry wolves. As soon as you walk in, you can spot them pointing at you from a distance What a place North great pictures bro, if only mine were as good. A sarfiis (service ) is one of those 9-seater+ buses that roam around the city. Have you visited Xalab Castle? Mashallah, it was an amazing historic castle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NGONGE Posted January 2, 2008 Originally posted by Northerner: Ngonge, both sides? :confused: There is a Shiica side of the Mosque. As I was wondering about and trying to check the place out, a Shiica imam beckoned to me and told me to enter a big side door. In there, there were lots of crying people! I have no idea if they cry all the time or it was a special occasion. I legged it out of there as soon as I could. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
