Syrian Times 19 December, 2003
When one walks in the alleyways and lanes of the old city of Damascus, he or she will find himself or herself attracted to many things.
The doors of the houses in this time- old city are not just ordinary doors and they are not like other doors in any other city. They may have a number of similarities, but they are distinguished by their Damascene arbasah arabesque and Damascene geometric designs and decorations.
The doors, which, are not those of magnificent mansions, or palaces. They are ordinary doors to ordinary houses belonging to ordinary people. There are hundreds of these doors whose beauty mirror the unrivalled skills of the Damascene craftsmen.
Moreover, there are tens of gates whose beauty and decoration reflect highly sophisticated craftsmanship. These gates are not the famous gates within the wall of the old city of Damascus. They are scattered in different parts of Damascus inside the wall of the old city and beyond.
Al- Midan district is famous for beautiful gates. They can be seen in mosques, old schools and guest- houses.
