Baba Amr

Baba Amr (Arabic: بابا عمرو/ALA-LC: Bâba ʿAmr) is a city district (hayy) in southwestern Homs in central Syria.

In 2004, it had a population of 34,175 (the hayy of Sultaniya which abuts Baba Amr to the south was also counted in this figure).

[1] Abutting Baba Amr and Sultaniya from the north and south respectively are the city districts of Inshaat and the village of Jobar.

To the west are the villages of Aysun, Shalluh and al-Mazra'a and to the east is Homs' Palestinian refugee camp.

[3] The modern district was formed largely as a result of Bedouin migration from the desert steppe east of Homs to the city's suburbs in the 1960s and 1970s.
