Byblos followed by Damascus. It's a toss up here as to whether you consider Byblos to be in the same league as Damascus though. In any event, Byblos from 5000 BC and Damascus under one name or another, from around 3500BC.

Jericho:http://www.bibleplaces.com/jericho.htm Neolithic Tower Discovered and excavated by Kathleen Kenyon in her Trench I, the Neolithic tower was built and destroyed in Pre-Pottery Neolithic A, which Kenyon dated to 8000-7000 B.C. The 8m diameter tower stands 8m tall and was connected on the inside of a 4m thick wall. On the basis of this discovery, archaeologists have claimed that Jericho is the "oldest city in the world." Clearly such monumental construction reflects social organization and central authority, but there are good reasons to question both its dating to the 8th millennium B.C. and its function as a defensive fortification. also http://www.jericho-city.org/ News, history, and information for tourists on accommodation, facilities, and attractions of the city considered the oldest in the world.
