Damascus - Post Report Question and Answers
What is your housing like? What are typical housing sizes, locations, and commute times for expatriates?
Apartments. The average commute depends on traffic. It can be busy at peak times. - Oct 2010
In Damascus mainly apartments, some in the basement with gardens. In the suburbs of Sabboura, Yafour and Qura-al-Assad there are houses, or - lets's say villas, most of them huge and with swimming pools. - Aug 2008
