Abu Daniel in Damascus Castle debate over commercial use
The opening of "Abu Daniyal" restaurant inside the Damascus Citadel sparked widespread controversy regarding how well the restaurant’s modifications and interior arrangements align with the preservation of the archaeological site listed on UNESCO's World Heritage List. The event took place during the "Summer Syria Festival," under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture, prompting many specialists and critics to criticize the violations that exposed the citadel to risks, such as installing equipment near the ancient walls or digging advertising marks, which threaten the site's historical identity. Experts also expressed concern over the lack of transparency in approvals and licenses, calling for strict regulations to ensure the protection of the heritage, and for directing investment in historical sites to serve culture and tourism without compromising their historical value.
