I took the 7a.m. train from Damascus to Aleppo. The 5hr trip cost $4.80.
I arrived, caught a taxi to the hotel, dumped my bag in a cute little room, and started walking, eager to see the famous souqs of Aleppo.
However... I didn't have a map of the city, I didn't grab a business card of the hotel, I didn't do a check of the nearby landmarks. When I tried to find my way back, I couldn't.
And unfortunately the name of the hotel is Tourist Hotel. I gave up asking for help. Every hotel was the answer to my question.
