Home Clients Syrian Companies Services ... Search Geography Landscape The Landscape Starting from the Coast, to the Mountains to the Steppe and Desert, Syria is a land of great diversity. The Coast: With about 110 miles (180 kilometers) along the Mediterranean Sea, Syria has quite a short coastline. The coast lies between the Turkish province of Iskanderoun, and Lebanon. It includes both areas of Sandy shores and cliffs and rocky headlands. The coastal mountain range is also on the coastline. From Djebel Aqra to Ras Shamra in the North the coast is rocky, and from Ras El Bassit to Ras Ibn Hani there are arched gulfs like that of Minet El Baida that once sheltered the Great Kingdom of Ugarit . To the north of Tartous , lies a narrow coastal strip which is interrupted by spurs of the coastal mountain range immediately to the east. It then widens into the Sahl 'Akkar (Plain of 'Akkar), which continues south across the Lebanon border. The Mountains: The coastal mountain range borders the coastal plain and runs from north to south. The mountains have an average width of 35 km, and their altitude declines from a modest 1729m in the north (east of Latakia ) to 1602m at Jebel Aqra to 600m in the south, at the gap near Homs. Directly to the east of the mountains is the Ghab Depression, a 75km longitudinal trench that contains the valley of the Orontes River.

Population Distribution, 1981 Census Throughout its history, Syria's political and economic importance has been largely attributable to its position at the crossroads of three continents and several cultures. Because of its strategic geographic location, Syria continues to be a focus of transit trade among many countries of the Middle East and to be a vital factor in Arab politics and in Arab-Israeli hostilities. The area includes about 185,180 square kilometers of deserts, plains, and mountains. It is divided into a coastal zonewith a narrow, double mountain belt enclosing a depression in the west and a much larger eastern plateau. The climate is predominantly dry; about three-fifths of the country has less than 25 centimeters of rain a year. Fertile land is the nation's most important natural resource, and efforts have been made, and in the 1980s were continuing, to increase the amount of arable land through irrigation projects (see Agriculture , ch. 3).

COUNTRY STUDIES Syria GEOGRAPHY Syria - Geography Syria Land, Water, and Climate Along the Mediterranean, a narrow coastal plain stretches south from the Turkish border to Lebanon. The flatness of this littoral, covered with sand dunes, is broken only by lateral promontories running down from the mountains to the sea. Syria claims a territorial limit of 35 nautical miles off its Mediterranean coastline. Inland and farther south, the Anti-Lebanon Mountains rise to peaks of over 2,700 meters on the Syrian-Lebanese frontier and spread in spurs eastward toward the plateau region. The eastern slopes have little rainfall and vegetation and merge eventually with the desert. In the southwest, the lofty Mount Hermon (Jabal ash Shaykh), also on the border between Syria and Lebanon, descends to the Hawran Plateau frequently referred to as the Hawranthat receives rain-bearing winds from the Mediterranean. All but the lowest slopes of Mount Hermon are uninhabited, however. Volcanic cones, some of which reach over 900 meters, intersperse the open, rolling, once-fertile Hawran Plateau south of Damascus and east of the Anti-Lebanon Mountains. Southwest of the Hawran lies the high volcanic region of the Jabal Druze range (renamed Jabal al Arab), home of the country's Druze population. The entire eastern plateau region is intersected by a low chain of mountains, the Jabal ar Ruwaq, the Jabal Abu Rujmayn, and the Jabal Bishri, extending northeastward from the Jabal Al Arab to the Euphrates River. South of these mountains lies a barren desert region known as the Hamad. North of the Jabal ar Ruwaq and east of the city of Homs is another barren area known as the Homs Desert, which has a hard-packed dirt surface.

Country List World Factbook Home The World Factbook Syria Introduction Syria Background: Following the breakup of the Ottoman Empire during World War I, Syria was administered by the French until independence in 1946. In the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, Syria lost the Golan Heights to Israel. Since 1976, Syrian troops have been stationed in Lebanon, ostensibly in a peacekeeping capacity, despite international pressure calling for their withdrawal. Over the past decade, Syria and Israel have held occasional peace talks over the return of the Golan Heights.
