Lake Muzayrib (Arabic Buhayrat al-Muzayrib) lies in the town of al-Muzayrib in Daraa Governorate, southern Syria. Arabic Wikipedia describes it as one of the largest bodies of water in the south and an important source of drinking water.

Region or landscape. The marker shows a reference point, not a boundary.

Landscape

According to Arabic Wikipedia the lake is about 500 m long and 250 m wide; the same source gives an area of about 1 km², which does not match those dimensions. The outflow of the lake feeds the Tell Shihab waterfalls, which the source singles out for their height and historical remains.[1][2]

Significance

The lake is described as one of the most important water sources of Daraa and Suwayda governorates, supplying drinking water to a large part of the population. Boats operate on it, and the source counts al-Muzayrib among the best-known excursion areas of Daraa Governorate.[1]
