Czech TV: Damascus is a city from which history flows and is alive

“On the roads around Damascus”…is a sentence that formed a new title for a tourism program broadcast by Channel Two on Czech television, in which it shed light on the historical and archaeological aspects of Damascus and its most important landmarks and aspects of life.

The director and producer of the Czech television program, Jaroslav Bindra, described Damascus during his recent show as “a legendary city from which history begins.” He also presented during the 25-minute program the most important historical monuments in Damascus, including the Umayyad Mosque, the Azem Palace, the National Museum, the Sulaymaniyah monument, in addition to the Hijaz Station and Damascus Citadel.

Bindra also monitored aspects of life in Damascus, especially the movement in Al-Hamidiyah Market and Al-Noufara Cafe and others, stressing that if history lovers want to roam the streets of a city from which history flows from all sides, their goal should be Damascus, as it is the oldest city in which life has continued without interruption for 10 thousand years.

Bindra said about Damascus during the program that it is a city of incomparable craftsmanship.. It is an open textbook of the history of the Middle East, a crossroads of cultures and a gateway to the East, considering that no city in the world can be compared to Damascus.
