#Damascus is the capital and largest city of Syria. It is the oldest capital in the world. Known colloquially in Syria as aš-Šām (الشَّام) and dubbed, poetically, the "City of Jasmine" (مَدِيْنَةُ الْيَاسْمِينِ Madīnat al-Yāsmīn).
Damascus is a major cultural centre of the Levant and the Arab world.
