Al-Hawash (Arabic: الحواش / ALA-LC: al-Ḥwāsh) is a Greek Orthodox Christians town in northwestern Syria, administratively belonging to the Homs Governorate.

Nearby towns include al-Husn and Marmarita to the west, Shin to the east and Talkalakh to the southwest.

[2][3] Its location in the midst of a coniferous mountain makes it a popular and favored summer destination.

[4] It is an important historic site and used to be a popular tourist attraction before the outbreak of the Syrian civil war.

Along with many other villages in the area, the earliest inhabitants of Hawash had immigrated from the southern Hauran plain.
