In ancient times it was more favored, but ages of neglect have destroyed its forests and thus decreased its rainfall, while over-cultiva- tion has impoverished the soil. There are still some fertile districts, especially on the Mediterranean coast and in Pales- tine, while the large oasis of Damascus enjoys a historic rep- utation. Elsewhere, however, crops are thin, and agriculture is handicapped by insufScient rainfall.
