Muhajerin, Urban residential neighborhood in Damascus, Syria.
Muhajerin occupies a strategic position on Mount Qasioun slopes at coordinates 33.525278 latitude and 36.274722 longitude in northwestern Damascus.
The neighborhood was founded in 1899 as a settlement for Muslim refugees from Crete who fled religious conflicts on the Greek island.
The neighborhood name derives from Arabic, meaning immigrants, reflecting the settlement patterns of various ethnic groups from the Balkans and Circassia.
The area connects to central Damascus through multiple transportation routes, including the historic tramway line constructed during Muhammad al Abid's presidency.
