The next stop is the town of Chtoura, back where the road forked, at the coop of a trader nicknamed Ali Baba. He has some exceptionally beautiful pigeons, which have recently arrived from Syria, also by the Idlib route. The rumour is that Syrians send him birds, but the payment doesn't always make it back across the border. Hence the nickname Ali Baba - a vague allusion to the 40 thieves in the Ali Baba story.
