Qanawat archeological town in Sweida province is distinguished by its Roman, Greek, Nabataean and Islamic monuments.

Qanawat has been known throughout history for its social, economic  and religious progress as it was ruled in a way similar to the Greek cities.

The ancient bathhouses  in Qanawat town in Sweida  are of  a unique architectural  design and a vivid witness  to the region's civilization and a miniature model of the Roman bathhouses  in both Shahba and Bosra.

Archeologist ,  Hassan Hatoum, who is specialized in the region’s antiquities  told SANA  that the bathhouses , which are located in the lower western part of Qanawat consist of  several buildings which  were  built  according to the Roman imperial style in the first half of the second century AD and they include several buildings,  where they used to  accommodated about  500 persons. 

The Ugaritic  cemetery , which has been discovered south of the Bay of “Mina Al-Bayda”  in Latakia since 1997 , dates back to the thirteenth century BC.

The  archaeological researcher Jamal Haidar confirmed that  the archaeological excavations carried out  in the site indicated the  Ugaritic cemetery  was  specified  for a family of a prominent social position, as the cemetery  was constructed with sandstone pieces under the surface of the earth in the form of a small room with  two meters deep, 3 meters long and 2 meters wide. 

On the left bank of the Khabour River, in the center of Al-Hasaka, the archaeological hill, which is considered the largest in the governorate, sits at a distance of 1,700 meters where the Khabour and Jagjeg rivers meet.

Through years of systematic excavation, the national archaeological mission in the Department of Antiquities of Al-Hasaka worked to find out the role the site played during 2000  years BC and the subsequent centuries and to confirm the hypothesis that this hill contains the Assyrian city of Makrizi, which was mentioned in the cuneiform figures discovered in "Durkatlemu," which is currently known as "Sheikh Hamad" hill in Deir Ezzor.
