Tell Dahab (Arabic: تل ذهب) is a village in central Syria, administratively part of the Salamiyah District of Hama Governorate. According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), Tell Dahab had a population of 660 in the 2004 census.[1]

History

Tell Dahab is one of several villages on the al-A'la plateau to contain Byzantine-era ruins. Greek inscriptions found on basalt lintels in the village date to 470, 489, 570 and 589 CE.[2] In 1838, Tell Dahab's inhabitants were noted to be predominantly Sunni Muslims.[3]

On 1 February 2025, as part of increasing violence against ethnic and religious minorities shortly after the fall of the Assad regime, four civilians were shot dead in a summary execution in the village.[4]
