Quneitra Governorate
Quneitra Governorate, Syrian governorate at the intersection of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Israel
Quneitra Governorate is an administrative region in southwestern Syria bordering multiple neighboring countries. It contains agricultural areas and settlements in a landscape shaped by proximity to the Golan Heights.
The governorate was established in 1964 by merging two administrative districts to create a unified administrative unit controlling the border region. This consolidation aimed to improve governance of the area.
The region is home to Druze, Circassian, and Arab Alawite communities, each maintaining distinct traditions and ways of life shaped by their histories. This cultural diversity gives the area its particular character and local identity.
The region is organized through two main administrative districts, with one city serving as the functional center of administration. Visitors should expect limited infrastructure and regional conditions typical of border areas.
The former capital city now sits abandoned within a United Nations buffer zone and has been designated as a memorial site. This deserted place remains a powerful witness to events that changed the region.
