Al-Bitar (Arabic: البطار) is a village in the Tartus Governorate nesting at one of the Coastal Mountain Range peaks at an altitude of about 1000m above mean sea level.

According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), al-Bitar had a population of 1,225 in the 2004 census.

There are still a lot of vain, fig and other fruit trees but mainly for personal consumption.

In addition to eating and preserving, the locals use the grapes to make triple distilled Arak.

The soil fertility and Mediterranean climate, combined with the habit of keeping animal farms for milk, egg and meat, allow the locals to enjoy a great level of self-sufficiency.
