Homs Gap
The
Homs Gap
(also called the
Akkar Gap
) is a relatively flat passage in the
Orontes River Valley
of southern
Syria
. Nicknamed the "gateway to Syria," the gap separates the
An-Nusayriyah Mountains
and Jebel Zawiyah from the
Lebanon
and
Anti-Lebanon mountains
. The small
Nahr al-Kabir
river runs down the Gap to the Syrian coast to the
Mediterranean Sea
.
