beware too the taxi from the airportPicked up a friend from Damascus Airport and, at the cabbie's advice took her up to a ridge above the city to hear the call to prayer and watch the sunset.
Heavily muscled gun carrying men tried to charge us nearly £300 for two tins of awful lager and a bowl of fruit.
after a stand up shouting row, where a knife was drawn, I negotiated them down to £20 (which is a month's pay to a Damascus taxi driver) and bravely left (albeit shaking and smelling of wee).
