Once you place your order, a mysterious monster hand appears from behind a small window to give you your drink.

It also has cookies if you&#8217;re in the mood for something sweet. Don&#8217;t forget to film your friends&#8217; reactions when the creepy hand shows up, especially if they don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s coming!<\/p>    <div style=\"height:12px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>    <h2 id=\"h-a-fun-stop-in-old-damascus\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Fun Stop in Old Damascus<\/strong><\/h2>    <div style=\"height:12px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since Taqa is in Qaimariyeh, you can also include it in your walk around Old Damascus.
