  8. Anjar (Arabic: عنجر‎, Armenian: Անճար), also known as Haoush Mousa (Arabic: حوش موسى‎), is a town of Lebanon located in the Bekaa Valley (58 km from Beirut). The population is about 2,400[1], consisting almost entirely of Armenians. The total area of its territory is about twenty square kilometers (7.7 square miles). In the summer, the population swells to 3,500, as members of the Armenian Diaspora return to visit there.

    Anjar is home to the Armenian Apostolic Saint Paul Church which is the second largest Armenian church in Lebanon. [2]

    Formerly known as Gerrha, a stronghold built by Umayyad Caliph Al-Walid ibn Abdel Malek in the 8th century, the site was later abandoned, leaving a number of well-preserved ruins. (The present-day name derives from Arabic Ayn Gerrha, or "source of Gerrha".) The famous Umayyad ruins are now a World Heritage Site.

    Anjar also stands unique as the only historic example of an inland commercial center. The city benefited from its strategic position on intersecting trade routes leading to Damascus, Homs, Baalbeck and to the South. This almost perfect quadrilateral of ruins lies in the midst of some of the richest agricultural land in Lebanon. It is only a short distance from gushing springs and one of the important sources of the Litani River. Today's name,"Anjar" comes from the Arabic Ain Gerrah, "the source of Gerrah", the name of an ancient stronghold founded in the era prior to Hellenistic times. Anjar has a special beauty. The city's slender columns and fragile arches stand in contrast to the massive bulk of the nearby Anti-Lebanon mountains - an eerie background for Anjar's extensive ruins and the memories of its short but energetic moment in history.

    I hope this will help : ) I am sorry with the translation, I wish I knew Arabic.

    I also hope they stop doing the reporting thing for no reason.

  9. I dont know why, but I'm sure you already have been in Anjar before......so.......I'll not tell you nothing about it. but.......if you want to visit it, I can give you the address of some guy with a Van, that can take you there.

    He is so cute......and talkative. He died for making the time for his custommers very joyful. Everybody enjoys the time being with him....and he'll take you everywhere you ask him to go.

    Hope this help....if you need some help, only tell me.

    Good luck!!!

    BTW...dont worry if in the way you catch a bad cold.....he always have a box of Kleenex with him.
