Wadi Qandil

Wadi Qandil, north of Latakia, is a coastal haven where the green folds of the mountains spill gently into the Mediterranean’s turquoise embrace. Its wide arc of soft, pale sand is framed by pine covered hills and the mouth of a small river that glitters in the sun before meeting the sea. The air carries a mix of salt and the resinous scent of the surrounding forests, while the water shifts from crystal shallows to deep, inviting blues. Still largely untouched by heavy development, Wadi Qandil offers a rare blend of wild beauty and tranquility.
