The image presents a narrow, cobbled street scene located within the Old City of Damascus, Syria, viewed under a clear blue sky. On the left side, an aged, multi-story building with light-beige stuccoed walls features multiple windows with dark wooden shutters and distinct overhanging wooden structures, some resembling enclosed balconies. Utility lines are affixed to its facade. Two vehicles are parked along this side: a partial view of a white sedan in the immediate foreground, followed by a yellow sedan, possibly a taxi, with its roof partially visible. On the right side, a building constructed of rough-hewn, light-brown stone blocks lines the street. Prominently extending from this structure at an elevated height is an ornate, octagonal wooden structure with a multi-tiered, pointed roof and decorative metal railings, resembling a bay window or a small lookout point. Numerous black utility cables are attached to this building. A silver sedan, bearing a Syrian license plate "1681", is parked in the foreground. Behind it, a second vehicle is partially covered by a white, sheet-like material. The street itself is paved with irregularly shaped cobblestones or stone blocks. A rectangular metal grate, likely a drain cover, is visible in the center of the street. Shadows from the buildings and cars are cast onto the street from the left, suggesting a high sun position. Towards the end of the visible street section, a dark, arched passage spans between the buildings. A faint human figure is visible in the shadows beneath this archway, appearing to walk further into the passage. A black, curved streetlight arm is mounted on the left-side building, extending over the street.
