The Silk Road Festival

I've just found out that this festival has already started this week! Silk from the far East (China) passed through Syria on its way West for centuries. This week are many historical and cultural activities for the public. I hope to participate in a few, including the birthplace of the alphabet (Ugarit) and Saladin castle. I'm so happy that these activities are taking place, making it more interesting and rich for locals and tourists.
