Jablehجَبْلَةٌ
Half a day: see the Roman theatre and the coast, then move on to Latakia or Tartous. Not a base.
Jableh is a small coastal city with a well-preserved Roman theatre and a quiet beach promenade. It is not a destination on its own but a convenient stop between Latakia and Tartous. Most travellers spend 2–4 hours here before continuing.
