Week of sabils in the City of Damascus



Week of sabils in the City of Damascus

The Syrian-German Technical Cooperation's Urban Development Project, Restoration of the Old City of Damascus Project -- in collaboration with the Governorate of Damascus, Department of Antiquities, French Institute for Near East Studies (IFPO - Atelier du Vieux Damas), and Syrian Environmental Association -- cordially invite you to celebrate the Week of Sabils in the Old City of Damascus. The weeklong series of events include : Inaugurations of renovated sabils with musical performances, architectural presentations, and more; Art exhibitions; Historical tours of the Old City and the historical area of Souq Sarouja; Tour of Beit Al-Aqqad (traditional Arab house); Academic Lectures.
Sabils, or public water fountains, are a distinctive element in the fabric of Old Damascus. For over 500 years, they provided water to the public and served as important landmarks throughout the city, and today we are proud to be a part of their restoration.
