# 1993 Arab Athletics Championships

The 1993 Arab Athletics Championships was the eighth edition of the international athletics competition between Arab countries. It took place in Latakia, Syria from 24 to 27 September. A total of 40 athletics events were contested, 23 for men and 17 for women.
The men's marathon was replaced by the half marathon at this edition – a change which later became the standard at the competition. It was the last time that the 3000 metres was on the programme; it was the only women's long-distance running event here. The women's 400 metres hurdles was dropped from the programme due to a lack of entries.
