Someone/something from the city of Damascus, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world.
A Damascene (as a person) is famous for his pride of his city and his country.
A Damascene can be
Muslim, Christian, or Jewish. An Arab, Kurd, Armenien, Circassian...
Most Damascene
people are religious. Yet, they are open and nice at the same
time.
Damascene textiles, iron, arts and of course dishes are famous and have a global reputation.
