    Qualified tourist guide

    Posted by serendib 8 July 2008

    I owe my insights into even the least visited tourist attractions in and around Aleppo to the very friendly and competent Mahmoud Lababidi (which is why I know and love Aleppo more than Damascus). He is a qualified tourist guide and working as an English teacher at a local high school. He can also assist with the hire of a car and driver for day trips.

    Mr Lababidi can be contacted by mobile phone no: 00963 (Syria) - 955276368 or email: mahmoud73@swissmail.net

    Aleppo Soap

    Posted by york137 15 August 2007

    Aleppo is famous for its olive oil soap, much of which is mixed with other oils so there is a great choice.

    The most precious of the regular combinations has 60% laurel oil and sells for 75 Syrian pounds (about 75p) per block. Try to track down a bar from Al Joubali soap factory in the old city.

    Widely available in the souks of Aleppo
