DAMASCUS COMMONWEALTH WAR CEMETERY Syrian Arab Republic
The DAMASCUS COMMONWEALTH WAR CEMETERY is approximately 5 kilometres south-west of the city centre in an area known as Sabara (Arabic for prickly pear).
The DAMASCUS COMMONWEALTH WAR CEMETERY is amongst an area of prickly pear plants, which is located behind apartment blocks and therefore is not easily viewed from any main roads. However, visitors can best reach the cemetery by private car or taxi.
From the large roundabout on the west side of Damascus, known as Al Umawiyeen Square, visitors pass the entrance of the Sheraton Hotel on the main dual carriage way, towards the Australian Embassy, and should take the side road 40 metres on the left, then turn immediately right. The DAMASCUS COMMONWEALTH WAR CEMETERY will be found on the left.
