The city of Hama is known for its enormous waterwheels or norias, which provided water from the Orontes river to the city and surrounding areas.
Then, there is the largest noria, the Al Mohammediyyeh, not far from the park, up to 20 metres in diameter. But the best spot is a little upstream from the town centre. Here, in the garden of a restaurant, and a quiet spot on the river, are the four norias of Bichriyat. Attached to the norias on the other side of the river, is a still largely intact aquaduct, which in days gone by could transport the water from here to the agricultural areas in the neighbourhood.
