Wadi Hajar

Syrian mountains are extremely important to numerous Syrian communities. Some of these mountains are said to be sacred. Other mountains are important mineral suppliers, containing deposits of phosphates, for example. During several battles between Syria and Lebanon, the mountains, particularly the Anti-Lebanese ranges, served as vital commercial and invading routes. The population density in the surrounding areas is determined by the slopes of the mountains.

With a height of 8,537 feet, Wadi Hajar is the second tallest mountain in Damascus, Syria. The mountain is located close to the Anti-Lebanese range. Wadi Hajar, like other mountains in Syria, has played an essential role in the conflicts and clashes between Lebanon and Syria. The Wadi Hajar is surrounded by peaks and ranges such as Tal'at Musa, Jabi Nabi Baru, Jabal al Ithnany, and Harf ath Ithnayn.
