'''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.
==Hitching Out== When traveling 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 inbetween, but taxi's could be annoying. Anyway most traffic passing this city takes this way
* The bypass east of '''Hama'''; Most trucks are using this road, but not many normal cars. So if you prefer trucks, take this road, otherwise, make your way through the city.
