This dataset updates: Every six months
Syria Administrative boundaries for levels 0 - 4, with Arabic Names, English Names, and p-codes.
Geodatabase maintains Arabic names better than shapefile
Note that Admin 4 is the populated places layer.
Admin Level 1= Governorate = Mohafaza
Admin Level 2 = District = Mantika
Admin Level 3 = Sub-district= Nahya
Populated places (also known as "Admin Level 4") = City or Village
Dataset organization: Administrative boundary resources (shapefiles, geodatabases. and gazetteer) are separate from the populated places shapefiles resources except the live geoservices, which provide both administrative boundaries and populated places.
