Jabal ad Duruz (Arabic: جبل الدروز, "Mountain of Druze"; also known as Jabal el Arab Arabic: جبل العرب‎) is an 1803-metre mountain in southern Syria, in the As Suwaydā governorate (mohofazat Souweida). In the winter, snow falls, which is atypical for this region. Most of the inhabitants of this region are Druze, and there are also small Christian communities.
