List Of Cities In Syria

Syria is subdivided in a hierarchical manner to subdivisions:

  • 14 Governorates (muhafazah)
    • 64 Districts (mintaqah)
      • 275 Sub-districts (nahiyah)

Each of the 14 Syrian governorates (muhafazat, singular muhafaza) is divided into many districts. The total number of the districts (manatiq, singular mantiqah) in Syria is 64, each of them is divided into smaller sub-districts (nawahi, singular nahiyah). A total of 275 sub-districts are formed in Syria.

Every governorate and district has a capital city, except of the Rif Dimashq Governorate and Markaz Rif Dimashq district. All sub-districts have their own centres as well.

In all districts of Syria, the district bears the same name as its capital with one exception; the Mount Simeon District where the capital is the city of Aleppo. The same goes to all sub-districts except of the Markaz Jabal Sam'an sub-district with the city of Aleppo being its centre.
