Description: Map of Islamic Syria (Bilad al-Sham) under the Rashidun caliphs Umar and Uthman. The map shows the approximate boundaries of Syria's military districts before their reorganization during the Umayyad and Abbasid caliphates, the region's major towns during this period, and the territories of the major resident Arab tribes before the mass tribal migrations from Arabia during the governorship of Mu'awiya ibn Abi Sufyan (639-661).
