Dahr Safra (Arabic: ضهر صفرا) is a village in the northwestern Syria, administratively part of the Baniyas District of Tartous Governorate.

[2] Historically, like many of the surrounding villages of the Syrian Coastal Mountain Range, its lands were characterized by olive groves on its slopes, wheat fields on the plateau, pasturelands for sheep on the coastal plain and vineyards scattered along the slopes or growing on the trellises of the village houses and harvested for arak production.

As this type of agroculture was more demanding than tending the olive groves and wheat fields of the hill and slopes, the farmers working this venture settled down on the plain.

[2] In the 1990s, the farmers of Dahr Safra, once again through their contact with Lebanese agriculture, pioneered plasticulture in the Syrian coastal plain, such that the length of the plains between Baniyas and Tartus were covered with plastic shelters within the span of a decade, helped along by Syria's Bank of Agriculture providing loans for half the costs of shelters.

The plasticulture boom developed the commercial economy of the village, with garages, warehouses, restaurants, and shops springing up on the plain near the coastal highway.
