I looked up some of the places on the internet as I was writing the blog and it seems that most of them in Damascus are fairly untouched by the war as they are quite close to Assad’s Presidential Palace. (We passed near there but my guide wouldn’t let me use my camera near there.)

It seems that Saidnayah and Maaloula have not fared so well, they were about 60km from Damascus. 🙁
