Pastrys in Syria

Damascus is full of bakeries and patisseries which you can't miss. There, you can try "kibbeh" (wheat cakes stuffed with meat), delicious "borek" (pastries filled with cheese or meat), or just simple sesame bread. If you have a sweet tooth, you can't leave the country without trying the "baklava" (puff pastry stuffed with pistachios, almonds, or pecans and accompanied with chocolate, strawberries, or honey). There are a thousand specialties and really cheap prices. It's also makes for a perfect gift. Do not miss the wonderful wooden candy boxes decorated with colorful wooden tiles. Want to send
