Lonely Planet review for Souq

A few steps from the An-Nuri Mosque is Homs' restored old Souq, which buzzes in the evenings when the whole city seemingly comes out to shop. With its grey stones, vaulted ceilings and elegant white lamp posts, it's one of Syria's most attractive souqs. The artisans, carpenters, cobblers, metal-workers and knife-sharpeners sitting cross-legged on the floors of their workshops make it all the more fascinating, and it's an easy place to while away a couple of hours.

Great buys include gold, sheesha pipes, spices and clothes.

    So many interesting handmade stuff to buy , Mosaic, Copper work, textiles, jewelry ...etc.

    be aware that there are many Souqs and each has it's own specialty.
