Damascus — the oldest continuously inhabited city on earth.
On the road to Damascus, Saul the persecutor became Paul the apostle. Antioch (near today's border) is where the disciples were first called Christians. Aram-Damascus features across the Old Testament as both foe and neighbour to Israel.
"Suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him…" — Acts 9:3
One of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on earth. On its approach a persecutor was blinded by light and rose a preacher — the Straight Street where Ananias found him still runs through the old city.
Small groups, proper guides, and scripture read where it was lived.
