Hello Rawan,nice wide angle shot, I like it. Are you sure about this photo showing Zaynab's shrine? I think that is the Sayyeda Roqaya mosque, hence Sayyeda Roqaya's shrine. And (as far as I know) she's the only direct successor of Ali buried in Damas. Anyway, thanks for sharing your photo :-) When I was there I couldn't take photos of the shrine since the Shia's "celebrated" the centenary of her death and the mosque's interior was really packed.
