Wadi al-Nasara (Arabic: وادي النصارى / ALA-LC: Wādī an-Naṣārá, which both mean "Valley of Christians") is an area in western Syria that administratively belongs to the governorate of Homs.
Most people in the area are Greek Orthodox Christians.
The area of Wadi-Al Nasara is ecclesiastically under the Archdiocese of Akkar, which has its seat in Cheikh Taba, Lebanon.[1] The current Greek-Orthodox Metropolitan of Akkar and Wadi al-Nasara and its dependencies (Safita and Tartus) is Mgr Basilius Mansour.[2]
