Why I recommend this place to visitors — 1 year ago
Cheap! Cheap! Cheap! We spent 5 days living the high life in Aleppo. 5 star restaurant meals for $7-8 usd. Great hotels for $70 usd a night. Of course you could go even cheaper. Breakfast for under $1 usd, etc. Aleppo is fascinating, as is Crac des Chevaliers. We preferred Aleppo to Damascus and had no troubles traveling the country. Probably not wise for women traveling alone. Whether man or women, dress conservatively and learn a couple of Arabic phrases.
