Masnaa Border Crossing

The Masnaa Border Crossing spans across a neutral zone of 8 kilometers that connects Lebanese customs checkpoints with Syrian inspection points at Jdeidet Yabous.

The crossing has experienced multiple closures throughout its history, reflecting the intricate dynamics of Lebanon-Syria relations and Middle Eastern regional conflicts.

The crossing functions as a meeting point where Lebanese and Syrian communities exchange goods, creating a space of economic and social interactions.

Travelers must obtain entry visas for both countries, and security checkpoints on each side can lead to extended waiting periods during peak hours.

The crossing maintains multiple traffic lanes and serves as the primary connection between Beirut and Damascus, the capitals of Lebanon and Syria.
