Kudna (Arabic: كودنة, also transliterated Kodneh, Kudnah) is a village in southern Syria, administratively part of the Quneitra Governorate, located south of Quneitra in the Syrian-controlled area of Golan Heights. According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics, Kudna had a population of 1,857 in the 2004 census.[1] Kudna is the traditional headquarters of the Nu'aym, a large Arab tribe mainly based in southern Syria.
