Idlib Governorate, Administrative region in northwestern Syria
The governorate spans over 6,000 square kilometers between Turkey, Aleppo, Hama, and Latakia governorates, featuring mountains in the west and desert regions in the east.
The region separated from Aleppo Governorate in 1957 under President Shukri al-Quwatli, marking a significant administrative change in Syrian territorial organization.
The Idlib Regional Museum houses more than 17,000 ancient Ebla tablets, documenting the region's deep connections to early Middle Eastern civilizations.
The Turkish lira functions as the primary currency across the governorate since June 2020, replacing the Syrian pound for daily transactions.
The Bab Al-Hawa crossing remained the sole United Nations authorized entry point for humanitarian aid into Syria from 2014 to July 2023.
