Because of its importance to Syria's oil industry, the town has a well-developed infrastructure including 22 km of roads, public parks, swimming pools, family clubs, cinema halls and cultural centres. Unlike most of [[Syrian Kurdistan]], Rmelan has an abundance of trees, a consequence of the town escaping the [[Syrian government]]'s ban on planting trees in the region.<ref>https://www.newstatesman.com/world/middle-east/2018/02/planting-trees-below-turkish-bombs-syria</ref> [[Abu Hajar Airport]], is now used by the United States military as part of the [[American-led intervention in the Syrian Civil War]]. The town is also home to the [[Ommal Rmelan SC|Ommal Rmelan]] (Rmelan Labours) football club. They participate in the third division of the [[Syrian Football League]] and play their home games at the Rmelan Municipal Stadium. The population of the town is a mix of [[Arabs]], [[Kurds]] and [[Assyrian people]]. Many workers from other Syrian regions also reside in Rmelan.
