Jabal al-Bilas

Jabal al-Bilas is a desert height located 500 meters above sea level in Syria.
A marker, laid by Roman governor Silanus 75 kilometres northwest of Palmyra, was found there, probably marking the Palmyrene's boundaries with Epiphania.
Occasional old pistachio trees of up to 5 meters in height can still be found there.
