Hitchhiking out

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.
