Just a few days ago i didn't have any cards from Syria but last week received 2 different cards, from 2 different postcrossers in less than 24 hours. Both are unesco. This 1st is a result of a trade with Doris "swissmiss".
"Founded in the 3rd millennium B.C., Damascus is one of the oldest cities in the Middle East. In the Middle Ages, it was the centre of a flourishing craft industry, specializing in swords and lace. The city has some 125 monuments from different periods of its history – one of the most spectacular is the 8th-century Great Mosque of the Umayyads, built on the site of an Assyrian sanctuary." - in: www.whc.unesco.org/en/list/20
