Aleppo

Aleppo is Syria's second city and has been one of commerce for millenniums. First in Greek than in Roman hands, it once was a key stop on the Silk Road. Today Aleppo's 'bazaar air' is still striking; its souq is considered one of the Middle East bests. The rest of its well conserved Old City has the final share in rating Aleppo as one of the must sees in Syria.
