Page "Village" Paragraph 78

Syria contains a large number of villages that vary in size and importance, including the ancient, historical and religious villages, such as Ma ' loula, Sednaya, and Brad ( Mar Maroun ’ s time ).

The diversity of the Syrian environments creates significant differences between the Syrian villages in terms of the economic activity and the method of adoption.

Villages in the south of Syria ( Hauran, Jabal al-Druze ), the north-east ( the Syrian island ) and the Orontes River basin depend mostly on agriculture, mainly grain, vegetables and fruits.

Villages in the region of Damascus and Aleppo depend on trading.

Some other villages, such as Marmarita depend heavily on tourist activity.
