Aleppo Tourist Areas

The Aleppo tourist areas are very nice places to visit. Unlike a lot of main city Aleppo it is very calm. Having a walk here is very good and at night you will find beautiful restaurants and cosy places to sit and even picnic. You will find that in Aleppo there are a few tourist spots rather than single big resorts like in Spain or Greece. The visitors in each tourist spot are quite different. In the central city most tourists are from Lebanon and the Gulf (particularly Saudi Arabia and the UAE) and there are some French. Here you find top quality hotels and restaurants surrounded by beautiful scenery. The tourist spots more to the edge of the city are mainly one day visit areas and one of the most famous attraction here is called the Blue Lagoon which has very nice swimming pools and facilities as well as a restaurant. Here almost all the visitors are from Lebanon and one of the reasons is the coach service these types of attractions have in which they pick visitors up mainly from Lebanon due to the close distance. Lebanon has coaches provided by Syria just for the Blue Lagoon and you find them dropping of the Lebanese visitors very commonly. The tourist spot opposite the Aleppo Citadel, which is one of the biggest, is very beautiful. The only thing is almost all of the visitors are from within Syria itself and one would imagine that you will find the most diversity here but this turned out to not be the case.

This is a tourist area in central Aleppo and as you can see it has an advertising banner for a telecom company and you do find advertising a lot in this tourist spot especially. Most tourist here are from the Middle East:
