A city of layered contrasts — Roman ruins rise above contemporary rooftop cafés, the call to prayer echoes through modern art galleries, and a young, vibrant population drives a creative culture that surprises most first-time visitors. The Citadel sits at the city's heart, overlooking 9,000 years of continuous habitation. Start at the Roman Theatre, walk through the old Souk, and end the evening in a restaurant in Weibdeh where the city lights spread out below you.
