There are some archaelogists who believe that two sites in Syria could be the world's earliest cities.
Tell Brak and Tell Hamoukar in the NE of Syria may have existed back in 3700BC.

Seems plausible. Damascus is generally considered to be the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world. It's mentioned by name in Genesis as a place where Abraham stopped on his way to Canaan from Ur of the Chaldees (in modern-day Iraq).
i belive there're cities in tigris and euphrates( modern day iraq) that are more than 9 thousand years old
