It’s not easy being paradise on earth in a country so often censured by the West…Arising out of the desert four thousand years ago, the capital of Syria again bats her eyelashes to seduce the voyager. Restoration of its palaces, enhancement of its mosques, redevelopment of its souks, Old Damascus is giving itself a beauty treatment.

Katmandu : in the shade of the pagodas
