Dabbash

Dabbash (Arabic: دباش, also spelled Dibbash) is a village in northwestern Syria, administratively part of the Latakia Governorate, located 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) north of Qardaha in the al-Fakhurah subdistrict.

According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics, Dabbash had a population of 472 in the 2004 census.

[3] Dabbash sits on an elevation 600 meters (2,000 ft) above sea level, its houses scattered across the slopes of Jabal Arba'in.

The village water is supplied by several springs, which support its cherry, walnut and almond orchards.

[2] The village population declined from 595 in 1960 to 444 in 1994, with the decrease attributed to emigration to Latakia for work in its tobacco factory and Damascus for army service and low birthrates.
