About the Event

Scenic view of

Damascus is the capital and largest city of Syria. A city of immense historical importance, Damascus was the capital of the Umayyad Caliphate during the Islamic Golden Age. As a city of immense religious importance, Damascus is home to the Street Called Straight, where the Apostle Paul (Saul) converted to Christianity; the Minaret of ʿĪsā, where Muslims believe ʿĪsā (Jesus) will return to the Earth to herald in the End of Days; and the Umayyad Mosque, where the relics of John the Baptist are kept. Damascus is the City of Jasmine and is a major cultural center in both the Islamic and Arabic worlds, and in safer times has been a major tourist destination.
