Where is Damascus Heights?
West of central Damascus: 13 minutes from Umayyad Square, 20 from the old city
Damascus Heights lies to the west of central Damascus, in the area of Yaafour and Al-Sabboura, where the land rises towards the hills. The setting gives the community its gardens, its golf landscape and its views back over the city, while keeping the centre within a short drive.
The masterplan brings together homes, hotels and places to work and learn, connected by a lively retail street and green spaces. Old Damascus, with the Umayyad Mosque and Al-Hamidiyah Souq, is about 20 minutes away by car.
