Daraa

Daraa extends along the Damascus-Amman highway, serving as a major transportation hub at the intersection of Syria's southern routes near the Jordanian border.

The settlement dates back to ancient Egyptian records during Pharaoh Thutmose III's reign, when it was known as Atharaa and later became Edrei in biblical times.

The city maintains a strong Sunni Muslim presence with a Palestinian refugee settlement, demonstrating the diverse population groups in the region.

The city functions as a primary stopping point for travelers between Damascus and Amman, located 90 kilometers south of the Syrian capital.

Daraa connects multiple railway lines at its junction station, marking its position as a central point in Syria's transportation network.
