Map of Aleppo

1-Aleppo’s Citadel and the old city surrounding it.
2-Al-Jedaideh and Tellal districts: The old downtown. Some of the old houses in these districts have recently been renovated and converted into restaurants and hotels. A must see to anyone interested in Aleppo’s old architecture.
3-Azizieh district: The current downtown. Residential and commercial center of Aleppo.
4-Al-Hadika Al-Amma (the general park): Aleppines call it also Al-Mashtal. It used to be one of the largest parks in the Middle East.
5-"Baghdad" train station: built by the French. Mentioned in Agatha Christie’s “Murder in the Orient Express”.
6-Souleymanyeh district.
7-The University of Aleppo.
8-Sabil district.
9-Hanano district.
10-Seif Al-Doleh district.
11-Maysaloun district.
12-Kouwaik River: Originates from Turkey. Several Irrigation and Dam projects, built by the Turks, have reduced it into a small stream of water.

Who made this map? I hope it isn't you..lol

Agatha Christie didn't just mention the station, she wrote the Orient Express at the Baron hotel.

Rami, it'll be a great idea to put in your blog a picture of the most famous historic hotel in syria "Hotel Baron". it remains the same since it was built in 1911 and is run by the same armenian family since then. and many celebrities slept there including T.E.Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia), Theodore Roosevelt, Kemal Ataturk and Agatha Crisite. it's probably not as fancey now as it was back then, when it was walking down Baron street is like walking in the champs-elysee.
thanks for this nice blog again

I have a question for you Rami.
I am Lebanese and my father was born in Aleppo. I was told it is in the Jamilieh district but I didn't find it on your map. Does Jamiliieh ring a bell?
