Homs is a major city in west-central Syria, capital of Homs Governorate and historically the country's third-largest urban centre, with a 2017 estimate near 775,000. It observes Arabia Standard Time (UTC+3) year-round; Syria abolished daylight saving in October 2022 and now stays on a single offset. The city stands on the Orontes River at about 500 metres elevation, on the ancient trade corridor linking Damascus to Aleppo and the Mediterranean. Known in antiquity as Emesa, it was a Roman provincial capital and a major early Christian and later Islamic centre after the 637 CE Muslim conquest. Homs became a focal point of the Syrian civil war: from 2011 to 2014 large districts, including the Old City, suffered prolonged siege and heavy destruction, and reconstruction has been slow. The city changed hands again during the December 2024 rebel offensive against the Assad government.
