'''Hama''' (ancient '''Hamath'''; ''Arabic:''' حماة''', meaning ''fortress'') is a city on the banks of the Orontes river in central [[Syria]] north of [[Damascus]]. It is the provincial capital of the Hama Governorate.
When travelling 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 in between, but taxis could be annoying. Anyway most traffic passing this city takes this way
* The bypass east of Hama; most trucks use this road, but not many normal cars. So if you prefer trucks, take this road, otherwise, make your way through the city.
