The simsim backpackers hostel is in an old house inside the old city market, designed in a colorful, modern way to please budget travelers.

You will meet a lot of travelers and also connect to locals in our Liwan culture café in the same building. We have many events. Enjoy!

When you stay with us, you'll soon discover that "simsim -sesame " can be found in many traditional dishes.

In the area around the hostel, you can try many of these tasty, healthy, fresh and inexpensive local specialities. Mankushi is a simple yet delicious breakfast option...hot pita topped with wild thyme (za'atar) and simsim.

Yum! You may even smell it from our neighbour's bakery as you wake up.

You cold try a salad in the afternoon. Carrots with simsim, "zahara" (cauliflower) and "tahini" (also made from simsim).

This famous salad Tabuli doesn't have simsim but is an explosion of taste and vitamins with other local products such as parsley, bulgur wheat, lemon, and olive oil.
