Antiques shopping in Syria

  1. Tony Stephan's

    Bustling Souq al-Hamidiyya is not only a wonderful place to shop for the atmosphere, but it also has some of the city's best antique and craft shops. Tony Stephan's at No 156 is renowned for the finest quality at the best prices, with a wide range of beautiful textiles, splendid mother-of-pearl inlaid furniture, old Bedouin jewellery, and intricately engraved copper and brassware. The quality is unsurpassed, so if you only have time to shop at one store, make it this one.

  2. Sharia al-Adasi

    For nargileh/sheesha pipes, mother-of-pearl inlaid wooden boxes and backgammon boards visit the shops on Sharia al-Adasi, which is north of the main souq; walk east from the front of the Great Mosque and then head north up the third lane.
