  • Byblos, Lebanon is one of the world's oldest continuously occupied cities, dating around 7000 years ago according to evidence although continuous living is proved to have begun 5000 years ago. Aleppo, Syria is also one of the world's oldest continuously occupied cities, if not the oldest since occupation of the area dates back (according to evidence) 13,000 years. Again, the current site of Aleppo shows significant evidence of human settlement going back at least 8,000 years.
  • Both countries border the Mediterranean Sea. 
  • Both countries have natural hazards in the form of sand and dust storms.
  • Both of environmental issues like deforestation and soil erosion.
  • Both fought for Independence from League of Nations mandate under French administration.
Differences:

  • Lebanon has no deserts while Syria is mostly a desert plateau.
Facts:
I think Byblos is of the oldest settlements still inhabited today because there is a lot of archaeological proof.
