ANJAR

Although Anjar only witnessed a brief period of prosperity, the ancient ruins of its great palace can still be seen today. Set in the heart of the city, the palace was built in the early eighth century under the rule of Caliph Walid Ibn Abdel-malik, depicting the Umayyad period and its civilization, the first Islamic dynasty that thrived on commerce at the time.
