Damascus and Aleppo have several baths, usually located in the souq. Most famous are the Yalbogha Hammam in Aleppo dating from the 14th  century and the Hammam Nour Ed-Din in Damascus dating from the 12th century. Full wash, steam bath and massage are offered.

Dervish show

Enjoy a dinner accompanied by whirling dervishes and musicians, originally characteristic of the Anatolian heartland of the Ottoman Empire. Dervishes undergo years of training before they are able to whirl between twenty and thirty times a minute. The dervishes aim to reach spiritual contact with God and overcome the border between the material and religious world. Several restaurants in the old towns of Damascus and Aleppo offer dervish shows.
