Amer's linens (and accommodation service)

Amer (he is the younger one) was a god sent - he organised accommodation and many lively evenings. Like many Syrians I met he is highly intelligent, can speak an amazing number of languages and can even write a bit of english. Yet he insists that he is nothing special and left school to help his dad run the shop when he was very young. You can't miss his infectious laugh!

 
     

Jamil's antiques (sara's shop)

   

 

Rami's linens and antiques

For details of how to get to Rami's and how to contact him see the details above for Jamil's shop (sara's), who incidentially is his uncle and whose shop is opposite! A typical syrian family setup.
