Friday is the holy day here, and Damascus REALLY shuts down on a Friday. Not just the city but all the 'tourist' places as well.
It reveals how a great deal of the tourist industry here, unlike in SE Asia is not based around the western Europeans and North Americans. An interesting difference. Saturday seems a bit more relaxed day than the rest of the week but the stark contrast to how much the whole place shuts down onj Friday is something else.
