Jaramana ( ) is a city in the Rif Dimashq Governorate in southern Syria.

Its location, 10 Kilometers southeast of the Syrian capital, makes it a bustling town in the greater Damascus metropolitan area, with a Christian and Druze majority. Since 2003 and the beginning of the Iraq War, large numbers of Iraqi have immigrated to Jaramana, swelling the population from around 100,000 to over 250,000. Although the official population was listed as 25,445. 70% of the city is residential.

There is also a Palestinian refugee camp near the town bearing its same name. Jaramana is a favorite destination for Iraqi Assyrians fleeing their unstable country.

In October 2006, the Assyrian community in Jaramana finally received a priest from Mosul, Iraq. The priest, Arkan Hana Hakim, claims there are now 2000 Assyrian Iraqis in Jaramana alone.

Nawras en z'n vrienden wonen in Jaramana, één van de vele palestijnse vluchtelingenkampen in Syrie. Hun families wonen er al 60 jaar en het leven is er niet altijd even makkelijk. De komende vredesbesprekingen bieden even weinig hoop op terugkeer als altijd.

Traversée du camp de réfugiés palestiniens de Jaramana en Syrie. Le camp comme entité spatiale et sociale, symbole de la diaspora, est contraint aux directives des pays d'accueils. Ici, le camp est coupé en deux depuis les années 80 par une route suite à l'élargissement du périmètre urbain de la ville de Damas. La traversée est accompagnée en fond sonore par un poème de Mahmoud Darwish "s'envolent les colombes". « Espaces de transit et d'attente, [les camps] s'organisent comme des "villes" sans pour autant être dotés d'un projet urbain dans la mesure où tout est conçu pour ne pas durer. Ils se stabilisent et durent. » M. Agier
