Good news from Homs of something I have been really waiting for. The rebuilding of Homs City Center mall has just begun. This building was one of the most symbolic and iconic buildings of Homs - its destruction was symbolic and now its restoration will be even more symbolic.pic.twitter.com/2hGKWR1hgB

Al-Sweiqah played an important commercial role in the 18th century, during which it would sell home appliances and utensils. Some Syrian Jewish families imported from Germany and sold them at the souk. The souk continuee specializing in home appliances and utensils until the war.
