Icecream in Damascus Souk


Definitely one of the best iecreams in Damascus town. The shop is always crowded and it's quite a business to queue up - you have to do it twice, like an old fashioned department store!  I love the way he is hauling that icecream around.

    Souq Hammadiyah is a great place – was that the Ice Cream shop with a picture of the Jordanian King in ? very nice place and deservedly busy

    Lovely pic! I remember that elastic Syrian ice-cream so well...

    The Arabic shop sign says "Bakdash" - these are the guys:
