Syria

Extracts data of Syria from the OpenstreetMaps project for free

OpenStreetMap vector data for Syria provides essential resources for GIS professionals, developers, and researchers conducting mapping, navigation, and spatial analysis in this region. This daily updated .pbf extract captures the complex geography and infrastructure of the country, suitable for building offline applications, cartography, and urban planning tools. In addition to the raw data, a paid QGIS 3 project file is available as an optional upsell, offering pre-styled vector layers in Shapefile or GeoPackage formats along with map icons for immediate visualization. The terrain features the Euphrates River flowing through the eastern region, forming a significant natural boundary.
