Deir ez-Zor
حلبية وزلبية حصنان متقابلان على ضفتي الفرات شمال دير الزور، حيث يمر النهر عبر ممر ضيق. حصّنت زنوبيا، ملكة تدمر، حلبية في القرن الثالث، ثم أعاد البيزنطيون…
Halabiye and Zalabiye are twin fortresses facing each other across the Euphrates north of Deir ez-Zor, where the river passes through a narrow gorge. Halabiye was fortified in the third century by Queen Zenobia of Palmyra and later rebuilt by the Byzantines with massive walls climbing up to a hilltop citadel. Zalabiye, the smaller fort on the opposite bank, guarded the same crossing. The site offers dramatic views over the river.
