Syria is the name that was given to the region by the Greeks and Romans and probably derives from the Babylonian suri. Arabs traditionally referred to Syria and a large, vaguely defined surrounding area as Sham, Sham up until the twentieth century. That name still is used to refer to the entire area of Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, and the West Bank and has become a symbol of Arab unity. Location and Geography. Demography. The population in 2000 was 16,673,282 (not including the 35,150 people living in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, of whom 18,150 are Arabs and 17,000 are Israelis). The country is 90.3 percent Arab. Kurds are estimated to constitute between 3 and 9 percent of the population. Also represented are Turks; Armenians, most of whom fled Turkey between 1925 and 1945; and small numbers of Circassians, Assyrians, and Jews. The Bedoins are Arabs, but form a distinct group. They were originally nomadic, but many have been forced to settle in towns and villages. Linguistic Affiliation.

Syria Asia CULTURE Ramadan in Syria Ramadan, the holy month of fasting and worship, is not only a month of piety and religious duties, but also a social phenomenon which affects the whole set of customs and habits of the Syrian society. Ramadan is a month of vivid social activities. First and foremost, it is a month in which family ties become closer than ever, in a society that is already known for its strong family relations. Almost every member of the extended family will take care to invite the whole family to an Iftar (break-fasting) banquet. And in turn he or she will be invited to other banquets held by the rest of the family members. During the month of Ramadan, one will expect to dine with the whole extended family an average of four to five times. Long Ramadan nights are usually spent with friends and neighbors. Playing cards and backgammon, smoking water pipes, exchanging small talk and chats in groupings of tens and more are a typical pastime favorite in Ramadan.

Sitemap Middle East Vacations Syria Vacations Advertise on this Site ... Email this page to a friend Syria Culture Located at the crossroads of history, the Middle East is the canvas upon which mankind has left a continuous record of our journey through time and space. The region is one of the world's most densely concentrated realms of cultural, religious, and geographic diversity. Wedged between the Mediterranean and the vast Arabian desert, interspersed with snow-capped mountains, fertile river valleys and ethereal rocky landscapes, the area beckons travelers with its endless attractions. Although generally best appreciated during the spring and autumn, the region's mountains are popular for winter skiing and summer escapes from the baking heat of the plains. The coast can be rainy in the winter, while Syria is marked by bitterly cold, dry winters. In the spring, the area is a glorious riot of wildflowers, with pleasantly warm days, occasionally marked by the khamsin -hot winds that blow in from the Sahara for a few days. Historically, the main cities of the region have developed along the coast, rivers, and the fertile oases that have provided rest and sustenance for travelers over thousands of years. The region has profited, economically and historically, from its key location: a fertile swathe of land sandwiched between the Mediterranean and the sweeping Arabian desert. Traders have been forced to pass through this narrow strip of civilization, leaving behind a cornucopia of cities and ruins of a time when caravanserais brought silk, spices and gold from east to west.

Country Info Home Introduction General Data Maps ... Time and Date Syria : Culture Syrian society is a mosaic of social groups of various sizes that deficiencys both a consistent stratification system linking all together and a set of shared values and loyalties binding the population into one nation. Distinctions of language, region, religion, ethnicity, and way of life cut across the society, producing a large number of separate communities, each marked by strong internal loyalty and solidarity. Although nearly twothirds of the people are Arabic-speaking Sunni Muslims, they do not constitute a unitary social force because of the strongly felt differences among beduin, villager, and urban dweller. A perceptive observer has spoken of the "empty center" of Syrian society, a society deficiencying an influential group embodying a national consensus.
