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.
