Nahr as-Sinn (Arabic: نهر السن) is a riverinSyria which marks the borders between Tartus Governorate and Latakia Governorate.

History

[edit]

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

Course

[edit]

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 its length which is only 6 kilometres (3.7 mi), it is considered the richest river in Syria.[2]
