General Location Notes |
|
Precise Coordinates Notes | I can’t locate Hoba; the various possible locations aren’t entirely compatible; since Palmyra is northeast of Damascus, it’s difficult for a site on the road between them to be northwest; Wikipedia mentions that this city is built on a spring, and it’s west of Al Qaryatayn, but I can find nothing identifying it specificially with Hoba |
