#Syria: Apamea's spectacular Roman colonnaded avenue: ~1,200 columns stretching across 1.8 km - unique for its extraordinary scale. Built after the devastating earthquake that leveled the city in 115, this 37.5-meter-wide monumental artery was lined with 100s of shops and had dedicated pedestrian spaces. Masterpiece of Roman urban planning in the Middle East, it formed the city's backbone: from this central axis (N-S), all other streets unfolded in a precise grid pattern - implementing Greek urban design principles. This Roman monumental colonnaded street is the ancestor of the modern souk (market).

#Syria: the Euphrates Dam, the country's largest reservoir, has reached water levels not seen since 1988. It is now at 97% of its capacity, after receiving 3 billion of m³ in recent weeks, thanks to the unusually heavy rainy season in Syria and Turkey. As a precautionary measure, water releases are being carried out & will reach ~800 m³ per second, which will raise the level of the Euphrates to heights unseen in decades. Authorities warned people days in advance not to swim or go too close to the river banks.
