Daraa Governorate

Daraa Governorate extends across 3,730 square kilometers of land, including agricultural plains and mountainous regions near the border with Jordan.

The province became central to Syrian events in 2011 when the first large-scale protests started in Daraa city, marking a turning point.

Local governance incorporates traditional leadership through village chiefs and clan leaders who participate in community decisions alongside modern administrative structures.

The region contains three administrative districts with separate councils that manage local affairs and coordinate developmental projects with the central government.

The agricultural sector of Daraa benefits from fertile soil conditions that support extensive cultivation of olives, fruits, and grains throughout the province.
