Mount Qasioun questions, answered and dated

As of 28 July 2026, 0 of the 12 components of the Qasioun Journey development are open to the public. The cable car's own status, and the date it was last checked on site, are published on the live status page.

The stated target for the development is end of summer 2026. No individual component has a published opening date, and no operating hours have been announced. When a date is announced, it appears here in the same week.

No ticket price has been announced for any component. Damascus Governorate has stated that roughly 70% of the site is to remain free to enter. We do not publish estimated prices.

Mount Qasioun is the mountain above Damascus, and its viewpoint has long been where the city goes to sit and look at itself. Access along the slope changes while construction continues, so read the dated status before travelling. The last field check was 28 July 2026.

2.4 km, from Umayyad Park at the foot of the mountain to the summit, across three stations: departure, intermediate and summit.

Twelve named components were announced on 21 April 2026, among them the cable car, a glass-floored bridge, a mosque, an amphitheatre-style square and a pedestrian walkway. Each has its own record here, with a current status and a check date.

Someone goes up the mountain and looks. Every status carries the date it was checked and whether it came from a site visit or from an announcement. The last check was 28 July 2026; the next is due 31 August 2026.
