SYRIA - JOURNEY TO THE PAST (PART 8)

15/05/09 (Saturday)

Today is our last day in Syria. As for that, we pay our last visit to the Jami’ Umayyad and nearby places like the Mausoleum of Saladin. We waited for the mosque’s gate to open as we would like to avoid traffic with the Arabs especially at the Mausoleum of Prophet Yahya and Hussein. Alhamdulillah we got chance to have our last look at the place undisturbed; don’t know when we will ever get the chance to come here again.

As for me, this trip is considered as a lifetime experience. I’ve learned to more appreciate and like history and more or less got to know the nice Syrian people. Thanks to the Malaysian students who spared their time and accompanied us for the trip to Aleppo and Bosra. May Allah bless you in the alreade barakah place of Syria; the place of history, glory and ruins…a journey to the past not to be missed.
