Masnaa — Jdeidet Yabous

Masnaa–Jdeidet Yabous connects Lebanon and Syria on the Beirut–Damascus road. UNHCR reported round-the-clock operation on 31 March 2026. SANA reported a temporary closure on 4 April and reopening on 9 April with round-the-clock services. The published 24-hour schedule is not a guarantee against temporary closures; confirm operation on the day of travel. Requirements for transit through Lebanon are separate from Syrian entry permission.

Admission depends on citizenship and the permission issued for this entry point. Confirm visa or exemption, any prior approval, passport validity, entry fee and payment method before departure. An open crossing does not guarantee admission. Evidence of travel to Israel may lead to refusal. Consult the visa page for the differing passport requirements and official sources.
