Tales from the Old Alleyways… Diaries That Shape a City’s Memory
In the heart of Old Homs, daily life unfolds as a collection of living stories that quietly shape the city’s memory. Narrow alleyways filled with the aroma of coffee, the calls of merchants, and the echo of footsteps on ancient stones preserve the essence of community through the resilience and warmth of ordinary people.
Stories like Abu Laith, the locksmith who has spent more than forty years listening not only to broken locks but to unspoken stories, or Umm Rami, the vegetable seller whose smile turns buying and selling into a moment of human connection, reveal how simple acts contribute to a shared identity.
Every corner, shop, and familiar face carries a memory, proving that the spirit of Homs is built not on grand events, but on everyday details—patience, kindness, and the quiet ability to carry on despite hardship.
