Damascus (Arabic: دمشق translit: Dimas͟hq Also commonly: الشام ash-Shām) is the largest city and capital of Syria.
Founded approximately 2500 BC, it is thought to be one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, before Al Fayyum, and Gaziantep.
Although this is often shortened to Dimashq by many, the citizens of Damascus, and of Syria and some other Arab neighbors, colloquially call the city ash-Shām.
