22, 2002. About 6,000 Damascus houses, some of which could be more old than 1,000
years old, are suffering from lack of finances needed to renovate them. The houses
are famous in the Middle East for their design with a pool in the center of the yard,
various plants and internal wall decorations that combine Islamic, Ottoman, Arabic
and even European styles and ornaments. Photo by Khaled Al-Hariri/Reuters
