[[ImageFile:Quneitra_centrum.jpg|thumb|300px|The empty center of '''Quneitra''']]
'''Quneitra''' is a ghost-town in the southwest of [[Syria]], located on the [[Golan Heights]].
If you plan to visit '''Quneitra''', you have to get a permission from the ''Ministry of the Interior'' in [[Damascus]]. This can be found at ''Al Malki'' Square. Normally it takes no longer than 10 min. to get the permission, but keep in mind that the office is open Su-Th only from 8am to 2pm. You can only get a permission for the current or next day. Don't forget to tell the officer on which day you want to go.
==Hitching Out==
Hitchhiking within and out of Quneitra is definitely not possible, because you'll have to go around in a minibus, taxi or on a motorbike together with a soldier at least to the next city.
==Hitching In==
It is possible to hitch to the village just before Quneitra. From there, several UN checkpoints will be on your way and walking through is not possible. You can try hitching a UN car or maybe some of the few locals will bring you to the last checkpoint, where a soldier will join your further trip. This one is located 4km before the city, and walking there is not allowed, so you have to take a minibus or taxi. If you're lucky, the army guys will give you a cheap tour (100 SYP) through town on their motorbikes.
