Aleppo (Syria) Vacation Travel Video Guide

Video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RT0nVNgA6e0

Travel video about destination Aleppo in Syria.
Sturdy walls and gates protect the ancient historic city of Aleppo in Syria.The narrow lanes in the old town, and its many historic buildings, have retained all the character and charm of a mediaeval metropolis. The city has a flourishing economy which is mainly due to its favourable location at the junction of several important trading routes. In 1169 the Umayyade Mosque was re-built at the command of the Zengid monarch, Nureddin, but only its impressive forty five metre high minaret has survived to the present day. The Baits are true architectural gems of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, noble and often palatial-looking buildings that once belonged to the city’s elite classes. Today Aleppo shines out once again in the glory of its six thousand years of history and continues to highlight its unique significance as one of the most important cities in the Orient.

Old Istanbul & The Bosphorus in 4K (Ultra HD)

Istanbul served as imperial capital for the Roman and Byzantine (330–1204 and 1261–1453), the Latin (1204–1261), and the Ottoman (1453–1922) empires (Wikipedia). With its strategic location on the Bosphorus peninsula between the Balkans and Anatolia, the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, Istanbul has been associated with major political, religious and artistic events for more than 2,000 years (UNESCO).

In this video: Sultan Ahmed Mosque (Blue Mosque) (0:05), Hippodrome (1:26), Gulhane Park (1:38), Aya Sophia (Hagia Sofia) (2:13), Kalendarhane Mosque (4:02), Column of Constantine (4:07), Süleymaniye Mosque (4:23), New Mosque (5:21), Topkapi Palace (5:57), The Bosphorus (7:20), Grand Bazaar (Kapalı Çarşı) (9:40), sunset view from Galata Bridge (10:17).

Meet the Only City in the World That Straddles Two Continents

The unique geography

Though Istanbul is considered one city, part of it sits on the continent of Europe, neighboring Greece and Bulgaria; the other part sits on the continent of Asia, neighboring Syria, Iran, and Iraq beyond Turkey’s borders. Between them runs the Bosphorus Strait, a narrow body of water that connects the Black Sea to the Mediterranean Sea via the Sea of Marmara. The result is a cultural and ethnic melting pot, a cosmopolitan city with Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman and modern Turkish structures—a skyline of domes and minarets in mosques, churches, and synagogues, palaces, castles, and towers. It is a history buff’s dream and one of Reader’s Digest’s top bucket list vacations
