Description Tony Wheeler, one of the founders of Lonely Planet, rediscovers the capital of Syria - Damascus. The oldest continuously-inhabited city in the world, it has a place in history and you can feel it. The winding thoroughfare 'Straight Street' is referred to in the Christian Bible. Other attractions include the Ummayad Mosque, one of the oldest and holiest in the Muslim world, and the walled Old City where you should deliberately get lost. While wandering around, look out for a very strange collection of old American cars that haven't suffered the rust of Havana's more well-known collection.
