Suran (Arabic: صوران, Ṣūrān) is a Syrian city administratively belonging to the Hama Governorate. It has a population of 32,724 as of 2007, which makes Suran the 56th largest area per geographical entity in Syria. Its inhabitants are predominantly Sunni Muslims.[1] Suran's inhabitants are predominantly Sunni Muslim Arabs, although in the early 20th-century they, along with the inhabitants of nearby Kafr Zita, were still proud of their Mawali origins.[2] The Mawali were non-Arab Muslim nomadic tribes who dominated the desert regions of northern Syria for centuries before being forced out to the vicinity of Hama and Aleppo in the 18th-century by the Annizah, a Bedouin tribal confederation from the Najd region of the Arabian Peninsula.[3]
