"Ropes" Market, The Fifth of Aleppo Old Markets, is under renovation
An active movement is taking place in the "Ropes, Al-Hibal" market, the fifth of the old markets of Aleppo, to complete the restoration work, as the sounds of hand picks are heard in carving stones and restoring the ancient ones to re-install them in the arches, walls and ceilings, part of which collapsed due to the vandalism and destruction caused by terrorism. All renovation activities herald the imminent return of life to this market and its 57 shops. Most of the shops were devoted to selling ropes used in handicrafts, tent supplies, and tightening wooden benches.
