The Ghab Plain ((アラビア語:سهل الغاب)) is a fertile depression lying mainly in the Al-Suqaylabiyah District in northwest Syria, near Muhradah (35°15′N 36°35′E), around 25 km north-west of Hama.〔Federal Research Division, 2004, p. 74.〕 The valley was flooded for centuries by the waters of the Orontes River, which rendered it a swamp.〔Sofer, 1999, p. 205.〕 〔South, Coleman. Syria. Tarrytown, N.Y.: Marshall Cavendish Benchmark, 2006. Print.〕 The "Ghab project", beginning in the 1950s, drained the valley to make it habitable, arable land,〔de Miranda, 2007, p. 267.〕 providing an extra of irrigated farmland.〔Salman, 2009, p. 28.〕 The valley separates the al-Ansariyah mountains in the west from the Zawiyah mountain range and the plateau region to the east.〔 It is long and wide.〔 ==Fisheries==
Before its drainage, the Ghab was the center of the catfish (Silurus glanis) (''sallōr'' or ''samak aswad'') fisheries of the Orontes valley.〔J. Gaulmier, "Notes sur la pêche du silure dans la vallée du Ĝāb", ''Mélanges de l'Institut Français de Damas'' 1 (1929), p. 19-25〕
