History

In ancient times, the river was called "Siyannu" which marked the southern borders of Ugarit.[1]

Course

Nahr as-Sinn rises in a plain area in Tartus Governorate and runs to the west to finally flow into the Mediterranean Sea south of Arab al-Mulk. Despite of its length which is only 6 kilometres (3.7 mi), it is considered the richest river in Syria.[2]
