Yep, you read right ... today I took a short trip downtown and tried to document it with some photos that I took. Our friend Firas advised me to take my cam along and that's exactly what I did; I will tell you the story as you go through the photos, so here you go!
I parked my car in Shabsogh; it was so full that I had to go all the way to the upper floors, and the view there was pretty nice, so I captured it :)

The whole purpose of my trip was to buy some fabric, cause I want to have some dresses tailored, so I headed straight to the best fabric shop in town; Bayazid in Souq Mango. 3am Abu Faris and his sons run this shop and they have the best textiles ever.

I got myself some of the tooty fabric he is holding, cool ha?

Souq Mango was quiet today, not so many shoppers around
This path leads to Souq Bsharat
These very old stairs connect Souq Mango to Basman Street

Then I went out of Souq Mango to go back and took more pictures :)

Heading back to Shabsogh where you can see all the old restaurants
Some people were having lunch at Al Naja7 Restaurant
I bought a glass of the country's best fruit cocktail (you all should try it)
An inviting smile from the owner
Finally, a friendly smile from the Shabsogh employee responsible for the ground floor of the multi-level parking.
So, there you have it guys; I hope you enjoyed my very short trip downtown; maybe next time I will spend some more time and capture more of downtown beauty - I promise.
