These small mosques in the syrian old cities emit an enigmatic and mystic spiritual intensity unknown in the modern religious monuments.
Bro Ayman Bravo, nice blog.
Does darwesh mean anything in Arabic/Turkish/Persian or is just a name?

the term Darweesh was also used for a mystic student (ie a "sufi").
Can you please post more pictures of the mosque details, like doors, windows, court, any old detail. This mosque is almost as old at the USA.
