His father worked in this shop before him. He sells washing products for use in the hammam and at home, made from hemp imported from Kenya. “When I was here with my father, it was a big market, with 56 souks and khans. I could find anything I wanted: meat, nuts, vegetables, clothes, fabrics, textiles, jewellery. In the afternoon, everyone would eat together. The shopkeepers had special relationships with each other, one person’s daughter would marry another’s son. It was like one family. Every week there was a wedding or a party. Sometimes we would have a big meal and everyone would eat together along the street. Before the war, we had a lot of work, everyone was happy. From 6 am to 12 pm I would sell half the products in my shop; enough to support three families. Now it takes a whole year to sell half the products in my shop.” He had only sold one product so far this day. “My soul is in this place. Even if I don’t sell anything, I will keep coming.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e95d9b13e6b2f7f177b574b/1768506810830-Y27GT9U5XPRQ5Q7DDPDN/338.+Al-Saffahiyah+Mosque%2C+Aleppo.jpg News & Stories - A journey through the Souk of Aleppo The 15th century Mamluk-era Al-Saffahiyah Mosque https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e95d9b13e6b2f7f177b574b/1764521834970-9CK30JQDH2SOHSAX6WIZ/50.+Souk+of+Aleppo+-+Al-Madina+Souk.jpg News & Stories - A journey through the Souk of Aleppo An enterprising young man and his mobile hair salon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e95d9b13e6b2f7f177b574b/1768506049516-X2Q13Q09NED5UWNL2L49/321.+Souk+of+Aleppo+-+Al-Madina+Souk.jpg News & Stories - A journey through the Souk of Aleppo A restored section of the souk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e95d9b13e6b2f7f177b574b/1768506936366-5C5ORH7P5DL5Y1L92DZ1/340.+Souk+of+Aleppo+-+Al-Madina+Souk.jpg News & Stories - A journey through the Souk of Aleppo Early in the morning a man takes a walk through the souk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e95d9b13e6b2f7f177b574b/1768506103541-VH67JWZB3S0K4QGB65KI/274.+Souk+of+Aleppo+-+Al-Madina+Souk.jpg News & Stories - A journey through the Souk of Aleppo An original and intact section https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e95d9b13e6b2f7f177b574b/1764521907767-GUCHYJBMFHL3RPJU1CXA/180.+Souk+of+Aleppo+-+Al-Madina+Souk.jpg News & Stories - A journey through the Souk of Aleppo Shopkeepers take a break and have a laugh https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e95d9b13e6b2f7f177b574b/1768474935442-20QWG6XW8QSMV9YIXTVO/46.+Souk+of+Aleppo+-+Al-Madina+Souk.jpg News & Stories - A journey through the Souk of Aleppo Mohammed Aqad’s family has been selling wares in the souk for over 200 years.

This souk holds a lot of memories for Aleppian people because their father’s shops and homes were in this city.” Ammad’s father opened the shop in 1960. The shop sells medicinal herbs and spices for cooking like red tea, dried lemon, meramizeh (wild flower), dried black lemon, white pepper, sumac and more (see below images).

Baltit Fort was described by a visitor in 1979 as “a labyrinth of dark, smelly, dusty rooms” with decaying roofs pierced by holes and cracked walls that leaned precariously outside foundation lines. Yet it was undoubtedly a masterpiece of craftsmanship and thoroughly adapted to climate and function.Restoration work began on the Fort in 1992 and was completed in 1996. It has since become a local history museum and cultural centre. The villages and neighbourhoods around the Fort, which were in danger of being deserted in favour of new construction, have been rehabilitated with the active participation of residents. In most cases, the traditional houses have now been reoccupied. The key to this successful revitalisation effort has been the introduction of contemporary living standards, including piped water and sanitation systems. Valuable arable land once slated for construction is still under cultivation. To plan future strategies for the growth and development of the town, a Town Management Society has been set up with the assistance of the Trust.The restoration effort has won a number of awards, including a UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Conservation Award for Excellence in 2004, a Time Magazine “Best of Asia”, a Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) Golden Globe, and a British Airways Tourism for Tomorrow Award. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e95d9b13e6b2f7f177b574b/1588412943515-9HHFX4T6WFORQR6TZGM1/15.+Altit+Fort%2C+Hunza.jpg Galleries - Northern Pakistan - Altit Fort, Hunza Altit, a village located at the foot of the 900 year-old Altit Fort, had been partially deserted by its residents.

In an attempt to address this phenomenon and pre-empt the socio-economic consequences expected from a tourism boom, conservation efforts at Altit proceeded in reverse order: the village rehabilitation before the Fort.As in Karimabad, the introduction of water and sanitation facilities has proven vital to the revitalisation of the traditional settlement.The conservation strategy for Altit Fort developed in 2004 called for preservation “as found”, that is, basically as an empty shell, showing off the resilient traditional engineering techniques that have allowed for such structures to cope with tremors in a fairly active seismic zone. Most conservation works relate to mending structural defects, stabilising and repairing existing walls, replacing some roofs, treating wood decay and providing appropriate lighting.Altit Fort is open to visitors, while its splendid undulating garden – a fairy tale orchard – is a welcoming haven of tranquillity and nature. The KhaBasi Café situated in the garden re-uses the Mir’s colonial era winter residence and serves local traditional dishes. Entrance fees are charged for both the Fort and the rehabilitated historic village, with a portion going to the Altit Town Management Society, which also collects fees for sanitation and water services from the community for operation and maintenance of these services.Following its completion in 2010, Altit Fort was recognised with the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Award of Distinction in 2011. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e95d9b13e6b2f7f177b574b/1588413142764-7I6MBHFT83SEKKOI4WTB/1.+Khaplu+Palace%2C+Baltistan.jpg Galleries - Northern Pakistan - Khaplu Palace, Baltistan In Khaplu, AKTC undertook restoration and re-use of the Khaplu Palace, built in 1840, which is the finest surviving example of a royal residence in Baltistan. In 2005 when restoration work started it was in a state of considerable dilapidation. In July 2011, the restored Khaplu Palace & Residence was opened up under the Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development’s (AKFED) Tourism Promotion Services (TPS) division as a 21 room residence, similar to Shigar Fort, for high-end, discerning visitors.The Trust had earlier undertaken restoration of the historic astana (shrine and tomb) of Syed Mir Muhammad, in Khanqah settlement, as well as a number of community-development projects in Hunduli, Banpi and Doqsa, in partnership with the Khaplu Town Management and Development Society. The Trust selected the Hunduli village as the location for a demonstration project that would exhibit low-cost improvements, including social services, in individual dwellings and public spaces. These improvements were undertaken with local labour and materials (with appropriate technical assistance). The objective was to show that old homes could be re-adapted to new requirements – thereby preserving the heritage of the region – and that public spaces could be revitalised in a cost-effective manner. The project is also intended to revive traditional carpentry and construction techniques through hands-on training and to develop innovative uses of traditional materials.The astana (historic tomb) of Syed Mir Muhammad in Khanqah settlement also received a UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Conservation Award for "noteworthy restoration of the 300-year old mausoleum [...] which returns an important architectural and community landmark to its former prominence in the northern Pakistan highland settlement of Khaplu. The building’s aged patina and historic character has been carefully retained through skilful and sensitive conservation techniques." Khaplu Palace is the recipient of a 2013 UNESCO https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e95d9b13e6b2f7f177b574b/1588414893829-S0SN58G7O2HLKT81KT4E/2.+Baltit+Fort%2C+Karimabad.jpg Galleries - Northern Pakistan - Baltit Fort, Karimabad Conservation projects in the Hunza Valley began with the 700-year-old Baltit Fort and eventually encompassed the traditional settlements in Karimabad. Baltit Fort was described by a visitor in 1979 as “a labyrinth of dark, smelly, dusty rooms” with decaying roofs pierced by holes and cracked walls that leaned precariously outside foundation lines. Yet it was undoubtedly a masterpiece of craftsmanship and thoroughly adapted to climate and function.Restoration work began on the Fort in 1992 and was completed in 1996. It has since become a local history museum and cultural centre. The villages and neighbourhoods around the Fort, which were in danger of being deserted in favour of new construction, have been rehabilitated with the active participation of residents. In most cases, the traditional houses have now been reoccupied. The key to this successful revitalisation effort has been the introduction of contemporary living standards, including piped water and sanitation systems. Valuable arable land once slated for construction is still under cultivation.
