The city skyline of Damascus showcases the grandeur of the Umayyad Mosque and bustling souk, a testament to their cultural influence. Within the mosque lies the Dome of the Clocks, a mesmerizing sight that stands as a symbol of time's eternal passage. Intriguingly, history takes us back to the Battle of Poitiers where Charles Martel valiantly defeated between Tours. This clash marked a significant turning point in European history and showcased the military prowess of both sides. Traveling further west brings us to Jerusalem's enchanting view over the Western Wall (Wailing Wall) and Dome of Rock Mosque - UNESCO heritage sites that exemplify Umayyad architecture at its finest. Back in Syria, we find ourselves captivated by another masterpiece -the Great Mosque in Damascus. Dating back to possibly 1870s, this magnificent structure continues to inspire awe with its intricate design and historical significance. Delving deeper into Spain's past reveals encounters such as Ordono IV of Leon meeting Al-Hakam II - an encounter that shaped Spanish history under Umayyad rule. The Battle of Covadonga in 722 also holds immense importance as it marked a pivotal moment when resistance against Muslim conquest began.

Lastly, we revisit France for yet another historic battle: The Battle of Tours or Poitiers.
