The General Authority for Land and Sea Ports in Syria announced on Monday that the Arida border crossing with Lebanon, located in rural Tartus, will reopen to passenger traffic starting Tuesday morning, June 3, 2025.
In an official statement, the authority said, “We inform travelers that the Arida border crossing with Lebanon will be opened for passenger traffic on the morning of Tuesday, 03-06-2025.” The reopening comes as a measure to ease travel for citizens during the Eid al-Adha holiday.
The authority clarified that the decision was made despite ongoing restoration and maintenance work at the crossing. The move aims to accommodate increased travel demand during the festive period, facilitating smoother movement between the two neighboring countries.
It is worth remembering that the Arida border crossing between Syria and Lebanon was previously closed following an Israeli airstrike on November 27, 2024, during the war between Israel and Hezbollah.
