The blue-domed landmark on Suleiman al-Nabulsi Street, with room for 7,000 inside and 3,000 in the courtyard. Dress modestly and avoid prayer times.

Six 1920s houses in Weibdeh turned into an Arab art foundation, with an archaeological site in the garden. Saturday to Thursday 10am-7pm, closed through August.

Produce, spice and gold markets around King Faisal Square, plus the enclosed Souq al-Sukar. Trying before you buy is normal with nuts and dates.

A monumental public fountain from 191 AD, still being excavated, a short walk from the Roman Theatre and usually empty.
