I remember having a stop in Nabek to buy their popular hreeseh every time we drive up north to Latakia,7ama or 7alab.It's so yummy and the amazing thing they don't give their secret to an outsider.Basel,will you be the first kind nabki to give us your hreeseh secret?

You are right caarabguy, that is the city. It is between Damascus and Homos, and Nabek is known as the best Haresseh in Syria.
