1 submarine cable landing points in Syria. View coordinates, connected cables, and detailed location info.
Syria has one submarine cable landing point located in Tartous. Six submarine cables are associated with this landing point, connecting Syria to various countries in the region and beyond. The Medusa Submarine Cable System, the longest cable at 8,760 kilometers, became ready for service in 2026 and links Syria to Algeria, Cyprus, Egypt, France, Greece, and Italy. The Aletar cable, operational since 1997, spans 787 kilometers and connects Syria to Egypt. Other active cables include UGARIT (239 kilometers, operational since 1995, connecting to Cyprus) and BERYTAR (134 kilometers, operational since 1997, connecting to Lebanon). Two additional cables, Ebla and UGARIT 2, are listed as routes with unknown operational status.
The primary internet service providers in Syria by user base are Syrian Telecommunication Private Closed Joint Stock Company, High Speed For Internet Services L.L.C, Syriatel Mobile Telecom, and Starlink. Syria's connectivity is classified as vulnerable, as it depends on a single cable landing station, and the loss of this station would significantly impact internet capacity. GeoCables recorded five outages in the past 90 days, with the most recent occurring on October 20, 2026.
