The Damascus Sanjak (Turkish: Şam Sancağı, Arabic: سنجق دمشق) was a prefecture (sanjak) of the Ottoman Empire, occupying the center of Ottoman Syria, located in modern-day Syria and Lebanon. The city of Damascus was the Sanjak's capital.[1] It was bordered by the Hauran Sanjak to the south, Hama Sanjak to the north, and Beirut Vilayet to the west.
