Sharqliyya (Arabic: شرقلية, also spelled Sharqlieh) is a village in central Syria, administratively part of the Homs Governorate, located northwest of Homs. Nearby localities include al-Qabu and al-Shinyah to the west, al-Taybah al-Gharbiyah to the northwest, Taldou to the northeast and Ghur Gharbiyah to the east.
According to the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), Sharqliyya had a population of 1,362 in the 2004 census.[1] Its current inhabitants are predominantly Alawites and agriculture is the chief source of income for the village.[2]
During the late Ottoman era, in 1829, Sharqliyya was a Turkmen village in the Sanjak of Hama, consisting of 12 feddans.[3] In 1838 Sharqliyya's inhabitants were reported to be Muslims by British scholar Eli Smith.[4]
