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.
