Aleppo, a historic city in northern Syria, is located in Aleppo province near the Turkish border and was once an important trading hub on the ancient Silk Road. This ancient city of more than 8,000 years incorporates the imprints of Arab, Persian, and Roman civilizations, and its magnificent citadel, ancient mosques, and traditional bazaars (such as the Great Market of Aleppo) showcase a rich cultural heritage. As one of the largest cities in Syria, Erek has long been a regional economic and cultural center throughout its history, and despite the damage caused by the conflict in recent years, its unique architectural and human heritage continues to attract the world's attention, and it is now gradually moving towards recovery and reconstruction.
Located in Northern Sudan, Sudanese Kurti (Kurdufan) is the core city of Kurdufan State and one of Sudan's important cultural and trade hubs. Located in the Sahelian belt of central Africa, the region has an arid climate and agriculture is based on drought-tolerant crops such as sorghum and groundnuts. Kurti has historically been a trade node connecting North Africa with sub-Saharan Africa, where diverse cultures mingled and Arab traditions intertwined with indigenous African characteristics to form a unique folklore. Although the city is small in size, it has a thriving handicraft market and is famous for its leather products and traditional textiles. In recent years, with the gradual improvement of regional infrastructure, Kurti has become increasingly prominent in agricultural trade and logistics, and has become an important support for the economic vitality of northern Sudan.
