Syria contains a mix of different types of landscapes like fertile plains, mountains, valleys, and deserts. Overall, Syria can be characterized as a hot, dry desert climate. During periods of high wind, it experiences dust and sandstorms, reducing visibility. Despite the dry climate, the country has rainy winters and even periodic snow in Damascus.

Its longest river is the Euphrates but drought conditions threaten the river with biblical reference. The largest lake in Syria is Lake Assad because of a dam constructed in 1973. Syria lies between 32°N to 37°N with an arid subtropical and Mediterranean coastal climate.
