A Field Trip: A view from the Walls

Sorry to be dragging this out so long!  But, as you can plainly see, there are LOTS of pictures to share!  Don't worry, though, this is the last post with pictures from the old city walls!

If you are missed one of the previous posts, and are interested in other aspects of the walls, here are the posts:

* the cemetery
* the area surrounding the walls
* the walls

This final set of photos is views from the walls.  Because it takes us so long to get anywhere, the sun was starting to set towards the end of our visit.

Hope you enjoy!

Looking outside the wall, over the grounds of the mosque that is right next to the wall.
Directly below is the cemetery.


Looking out over the city inside the wall.  In the foreground are the ancient houses that are built practically right into the walls.  Farther out is the sprawl of the city.


Looking straight down inside the wall at the park.

Old wooden houses
