Episode 6 - Palmyra & Old Damascus - Syria

Barry follows the sandal prints of the ancient Romans to an ancient oasis city.

Then it’s on the road to Damascus, a city as old as time and a labyrinth of religious history and intrigue. There’s John the Baptist’s head, the tomb of Adam and Eve’s son and a window where a saint escaped death in a basket.

Tales told by the Hakawati (storyteller), come to life in the glint of a sword.
