Salamiyah (Arabic: سلمية) is a city and district in western Syria, in the Hama Governorate. It is located 33 km southeast of Hama, 45 km northeast of Homs. The city is nicknamed the "mother of Cairo" because it was the birthplace of the second Fatamid Caliph Muhammad al-Qaim Bi-Amrillah, who's dynasty would eventually establish the city of Cairo, and the early headquarters of his father Ubayd Allah al-Mahdi Billah who founded the Fatamid Caliphate. The city is an important center of the Nizari Ismaili sect and also the birthplace of poet Muhammad al-Maghut.

See this TripWow and more at tripwow.tripadvisor.com Water wheels of Hama "Hama is a little city on the Orontes River about 60km north of Homs, population about a half million I'd guess, which I'd heard was a bit of alright and a pleasant stop whilst heading to Aleppo. So instead of cruising by on my way from Palmyra, I hopped out of the minibus to take a look around. Unfortunately the weather wasn't going to cooperate. As I head further north it looks as though it will get colder and wetter. Anyway, in between intermittent showers I did have a chance to get out and see the bizarre things that Hama is famous for - its water wheels or 'Noria'. From what I can gather, these things have been used for a couple of thousand years to irrigate the surrounding valleys. Self-perpetuating as they roll with the river current and ranging in sizes up to 20 metres high, they scooped water out of the low-lying Orontes and deposited it in aqueducts that then distributed it to the farmlands. I use the past tense for a reason - none of the Noria I saw were actually working and it seems they haven't for a while judging by the soupy, sluggish river and also by the fact that none of the wheels had any obvious scoops to speak of. Most of the aqueducts are in an advanced state of disrepair too. Still, they are quite a feat of engineering and there are plenty of them to check out. I counted maybe a <b>...</b>

Cabe recordar que esta ciudad fue Bombardeada con la Aviación y Artellería por el fallecido presidente Hafez Al Asad en los años 80, y las organización humanitarias internacionales estiman que hubo una matanza de entre 40.000 y 70.000 personas civiles. El origen de todo lo que esta pasando en Siria y el levantamiento, TOTALMENTE PACIFICO pidiendo LIBERTAD Y DIGNIDAD, en todas las ciudades y pueblos ha sido la DETENCIÓN, SECUESTRO Y TORTURA de unos NIÑOS (MENORES de 15 años) de la escuela primaria en Daraa por escribir unos esloganes en los muros y paredes de la escuela, emitando lo que han visto en las televisiones via satelite de lo que esta ocurriendo en otros paises arabes como Tunes, Egipto, Yemen y otros. Poseteriormente los padres de estos niños y el pueblo de Daraa se lavanto pidiendo su Libertad y ha sido contestado con balas por las milicias del regimen, provocando la primera de las masacres que ha cometido y sigue cometiendo este regimen en esta ciudad y en otras como Latakia, Homs, Duma y otras. Hay que saber que La familia Al Asad lleva 40 años en el poder. El padre Hafez el Asad del actual presidente Bashar al Asad llego al poder en golpe de estado en 1970 y ha gobernado Siria con una mano de hierro durante 30 años y luego impusieron a su hijo Bashar cambiando la constitución de Siria en 15 minutos.

Such a relief to be on level road again after Turkey. Hama is perhaps a bit greener and a bit cleaner than other Syrian towns, and is interesting for its 'norias' or big waterwheels that have been used to irrigate the area for many centuries. Ultimately, it's a town with something old, a bit of green and not much else Apparently I peddled all this way to see the Syrian version of Tonbridge."

A TripAdvisorâ„¢ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Krak, Syria by TravelPod blogger Jcastellan titled "Castle out my window!" Jcastellan's travel blog entry: "Tonight we would be staying in a really romantic location, Fahed got quite excited each time he told us about it. We reached Krak mid-morning and went to the castle. The castle is called Krak Des Chevaliers and was built in 1031ish. It is considered to be the greatest fortress in the world and sits on a 650 metre high cliff. Fahed gave us a tour of the castle, which meant that we power walked through it all and stopped in the shade when he wanted to tell us something. It is strange that a Syrian hated standing in the sun. It was an unreal castle. Really huge and most of it was not closed to the public. We had a great view up here of the surrounding villages. On a clear day it is possible to see the Mediterranean sea, but not today. But from up here we could see our hotel, which was in a great location! Hopefully it's a nice hotel. This castle was fantastic. Just wished we had more time to explorer it. We ate a buffet lunch at a restaurant next to the castle. After lunch we had the choice to spend more time at the castle and then walk back to the hotel or go back to the hotel. Most of us went to the hotel. All our rooms had the great view of the castle. We had most of the afternoon free. We were isolated, no nearby town that we could walk to. I just relaxed in my room and watched some TV. We met in the lobby that <b>...</b>

The locals were extremely hospitable, friendly and very laidback. It has a lovely little market area with fruit and veg, deli stuff and fresh meat and fish. We discovered fresh local white cherries here and ate kilos of them, delicious. The fruit sellers also had large trays of what looked to us like unripe mulberries but we later discovered, when we got to Turkey, that they are white mulberries and taste lovely, like a normal mulberry but sweeter. Also on display was the most wonderful array of offal and sheeps heads, fantastic to see the butcher's fridges filled with these woolless, hairless sheep heads but if you didn't fancy mutton you could always choose a goat head although these come complete with horns and hair. The meat here is killed fresh every day, partly for religious reasons and partly because of lack of large refrigerated areas, and is done by the local butchers not by a large conglomerate and then distributed as it is in the west. So we spent a few days wandering around this relatively quiet place buying local food and soaking up the atmosphere. Taking walks along the river banks which are graced by these massive wooden water wheels, maybe 30m in diameter that have been part of the towns waterway for centuries. You can imagine it being <b>...</b>
