📍 Geographic Location of Dara

Geographic Overview

The +963 15 prefix is the National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Daraa Governorate in southwestern Syria. Daraa city, the administrative capital, along with surrounding towns such as Nawa, Inkhil, and Tafas, fall under this geographic area. The region borders Jordan to the south and is part of the Hauran plain, historically significant for agriculture and trade.

Dialing Format

To call a landline in Daraa from within Syria, subscribers dial 0 15 XXX XXX (where the leading 0 is the national trunk prefix). From abroad, callers use the international format: +963 15 XXX XXX (omitting the leading 0). The subscriber number is typically 6 digits, making the total national significant number (NSN) 9 digits (excluding the trunk prefix).

Jurisdictional and Regulatory Notes

The Syrian Telecommunications Establishment (STE) manages the fixed-line network, and geographic codes are allocated based on governorate boundaries. Daraa's code is distinct from neighboring codes such as Damascus (11) and As-Suwayda (16). No overlay codes have been implemented in Syria; each geographic area retains a unique prefix.

Caller Instructions

  • Local callers (within Syria): Dial 0 15 followed by the local number. For example, to call a Daraa landline 123456, dial 0 15 123456.
  • International callers: Dial your country's exit code (e.g., 00 from most countries, 011 from North America), then 963, then 15, then the local number. Example: 00 963 15 123456.
  • Mobile calls: If calling from a Syrian mobile, the same national format applies (0 15 ...).

Practical Considerations

Due to the ongoing conflict, some fixed-line services in Daraa may be disrupted or rerouted. In such cases, calls might be redirected to mobile networks or alternative routing, but the dialing format remains unchanged. For businesses, it is advisable to verify the current status of the line with STE or your local service provider. Additionally, when saving Syrian numbers in international format, always include the country code (+963) and drop the leading 0 for global accessibility.
