Quneitra Governorate, Syrian governorate at the intersection of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Israel

Quneitra Governorate spans 1,200 square kilometers in southwestern Syria, containing agricultural lands and remains of settlements near the Golan Heights border region.

The governorate formed in 1964 through merging Quneitra and Fiq districts to create a strategic administrative unit along the borders with neighboring countries.

The population of 90,000 residents includes communities of Druze Arabs, Circassians, Arab Alawites who maintain their individual traditions despite regional changes.

The administrative region operates with two main districts, Quneitra and Fiq, while Ba'ath City serves as the functional capital since 1986.

The former capital city Quneitra stands abandoned within a United Nations buffer zone, preserved as a memorial site since 1974.
