Abstract: The aims of this work have been to establish tectonic position of the Amanos mountains with respect tothe tectonic units of the surrounding regions. To do that, time and mechanism of emplacement of ophiolites present in theregion were concentrated in the light of their relationship with the neighbouring rocks.A geological map of considerable portion in the region Jias been prepared and, stratigraphy and the lithological unitshas been established in detail.It has been concluded that the ophiolites have emplaced in their tectonic position as large and partly undisturbedthrust slices.Correlation of the lithological units of the Amanos mountains with the Arabian platform sequence has shown thesedimentary sequence of the Amanos mountains has been evolued as the northward extension of the Arabian plate.
