Habibi

The finest place to relax in Damascus is at Al Nawfara coffeehouse nestled under the stairs that leads to the Umayyad mosque. The place makes for an excellent setting for a Turkish coffee with cardamom along a water pipe. Or as we found out one afternoon it is also perfect for shooting an Iraqi music video. The song was as usual about habibi (=sweetheart) and there was a lot of fog.
