Walking through the crowded “Souq
al- Hamidiyah” also known as the markets
in Damascus during the summer time can
be quite a challenge. However the group all agreed we deserved something refreshing
and cold. One of Syria’s famous ice
cream stops “Bakdash”. Syrian traditional ice cream is similar to
gelato, as it has a similar elastic texture to it. Here the ice cream is famous
for its pistachio ice cream made of mastic and sahleb, as seen in the picture
below. Here at Badkash while waiting in
line for this popular treat, you are able to see the workers making the ice cream
through a window, where the Syrian crowd watching in amaze make this experience
worthwhile.
