(Resort Towns 33 km)

    Hamana sits in a lovely valley that can be seen in panorama from the village of Sofar above. Once active in the silk industry, its huge 19th century silk factory has been converted into a school. You can reach Hamana from Mdairej on the Damascus Road or from Ras ek Metn.
    Three km to the north is Falougha, another traditional summer resort, where you can see a 19th century Serail with a splendid door that combines oriental and Italian styles.
