Bath House sights in Damascus

  1. A

    Hammam Nureddin

    If you're a male and visit only one hammam in Damascus, make it busy, men-only Hammam Nureddin, accessed from the spice souq that runs between the Umayyad Mosque and Straight St. Founded in the mid-12th century, it is one of the grandest and oldest functioning hammams in the country. It has an excellent heated steam room.
