President al-Sharaa and wife Latifa al-Droubi watch Antalya sunset at COP31
Images of Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa and his wife, Latifa al-Droubi, watching the sunset from a beach in Antalya circulated during a brief break from a packed schedule of meetings at COP31. The images drew broad attention in Turkish media.
In scenes away from protocol and official halls, Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa and his wife, Latifa al-Droubi, appeared on a beach in the Turkish city of Antalya, watching the sunset over the Mediterranean during their participation in the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP31).
The images, circulated on social media platforms and published by Turkish media outlets, show President al-Sharaa in a dark suit alongside his wife, who is wearing a black abaya, on a wooden walkway near a seaside pier. The sky is shaded orange and blue, with a crescent moon visible on the horizon. Turkish media outlets said the images were taken in the evening after a busy day of meetings.
The images drew notable attention, with Turkish news websites describing them as “romantic” and saying they showed the Syrian president “in a way not seen before.”
A packed schedule in Antalya
Al-Sharaa is participating in COP31, which Türkiye is hosting for the first time in Antalya through November 20. It is his second participation in climate summits, following COP30 in the Brazilian city of Belém last year. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan received him at the start of the summit.
The Syrian president met several leaders on the sidelines of the conference, including Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and Nechirvan Barzani, president of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
Latifa al-Droubi at the “Zero Waste” table
Latifa al-Droubi took part in a roundtable hosted by Emine Erdoğan, the wife of the Turkish president, with the attendance of the wives of several heads of state and government. The meeting discussed the “Zero Waste” initiative and ways to strengthen international cooperation in addressing climate change. Al-Droubi later thanked Emine Erdoğan for her hospitality.
Al-Droubi’s presence at official and international events alongside her husband has increased since he assumed the presidency. She also met Emine Erdoğan in Antalya during the Antalya Diplomacy Forum in April 2025.
