The Damascus Straight Street c. 1900
Straight Street, from the Latin Via Recta (Arabic: الشارع المستقيمal-Shāriʿ al-Mustaqīm), known as the Street called Straight (Greek: τὴν ῥύμην τὴν καλουμένην εὐθεῖαν) in the New Testament, is the old decumanus maximus, the main east-west Roman road, of Damascus, Syria.[1] It runs from east to west through the old city. According to the Acts of the Apostles (9:11), Paul the Apostle stayed in a house on Straight Street.[2]
The western half of the street, including the Midhat Pasha Souq, is today also known as "Midhat Pasha Street", while the eastern half, leading to the Bab Sharqi gate, is known as "Bab Sharqi Street".[1]
