Al-Malihah (Arabic: المليحة, also spelled al-Mleha or Al Mulayhah) is a town in southern Syria, administratively part of the Rif Dimashq Governorate, located on the eastern outskirts of Damascus to the west of Jaramana, in the Ghouta area.

Nearby localities include 'Aqraba, Deir al-Asafir, Zabdin, Kafr Batna and Babbila.

[1] Malihah is considered strategic due to its proximity to the main road between Damascus and its airport.

[2] During the start of the Syrian Revolution in 2011, the town participated in peaceful protests against the regime.

The town stayed under rebel control and was the site of repeated artillery and aerial bombardments by the government[4][5] which culminated in the Battle of Al-Malihah in 2014.
