Bahamra (Arabic: بحمرة, romanized: Bahāmra; also spelled Bhamrah) is a village in northwestern Syria, administratively part of the Qardaha District of the Latakia Governorate.
According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics, Bahamra had a population of 1,028 in the 2004 census.
The British Anglican missionary Samuel Lyde based his mission in Syria at Bahamra in 1854–1859.
[2] He purchased property, opened his school and put up a number of other buildings there and attempted to proselytize mainly among the Alawites of the region.
[3] He did not meet much success in his endeavour and transferred the school to the American Presbyterian missionary R. J. Dobbs, who continued the mission's work.
