Qurbe is a village in Çiyayê Kurmênc following the Cindirês subdistrict, Efrîn area, Heleb governorate. It is a small village located on the northeastern edge of the Cindirês plain and atop a fertile plateau with alluvial soil. A stream cuts through it heading towards the south to feed the Efrîn river. The village has a small area situated on a hill and plateau surrounded by olive trees from all sides. On the western side, there is an archeological hill near the village.
It is bordered to the north by a fertile plain planted with olive trees and the village of Qoceman.
