When traveling from [[Aleppo]] towards [[Damascus]], one has two options for passing '''Hama''':* The road directly through the city; you can choose to have a stop in town and try hitchhiking inbetween, but taxi's could be annoying. Anyway most traffic passing this city takes this way* The bypass east of '''Hama'''; Most trucks are using this road, but not many normal cars. So if you prefer trucks, take this road, otherwise, make your way through the city.== Hitchhiking out ==
