Borders of Syria
Syria borders:
- Turkey: Syria-Turkey border to the north and somewhat northwest
- Iraq: Iraq-Syria border to the east and southeast
- Jordan: Jordan-Syria border to the south
- Israel: Israel-Syria border to the southwest
- Lebanon: Lebanon-Syria border to the southwest
- the Mediterranean Sea to the west; maritime borders with Turkey (north) and Lebanon (south).
Not all border is properly demarcated.
Territorial disputes of Syria include Golan Heights (with Israel), Hatay Province (with Turkey), Deir al-Ashayer (with Lebanon). In the past there was some dispute with Lebanon about Shebaa Farms, and the area was never properly demarcated, but now it is under the Israeli occupation.
