Once
you get off the main Damascus Highway
which goes on to Aley, you will find
many pleasant old villages such as
this one. Asbadiyeh is particularly
interesting for its scattered feudal
architecture, stepped passageways and
pleasant views. A midan or square is
lined on two sides with uniformly
splendid houses in the traditional
style, one of which has a picturesque
covered balcony. From Aabadiyeh a
beautiful road leads down through a
forest of umbrella pines.
