Syria map

Syrian cuisine reflects broader Levantine culinary tradition, built around olive oil, fresh vegetables, and richly spiced rice and meat dishes. Mezze culture remains central to Syrian hospitality.

Kibbeh, a dish of spiced meat and bulgur, is widely regarded as a Syrian specialty. Fattoush, a bread salad with fresh vegetables, remains a beloved everyday dish.
