Homs Pass

  • The Homs Pass, also known as the Homs Gap, lies in the valley of the River Orontes and carries the road from the Mediterranean sea to Homs in Syria. It is the only Pass that is open all year round to traffic.
  • There are five Crusader Castles, including the Krak des Chevaliers, built in 1031 CE to control this Pass during the First Crusade (1090-1095 CE).
