Anjar is a UNESCO World Heritage site that showcases the only surviving example of an 8th-century Umayyad inland commercial center. Visitors can wander through the well-preserved ruins of palaces, mosques, and a grand colonnaded street, imagining the bustling trade that once occurred here. The site's grid-like layout reflects Roman influences, while the intricate stone carvings highlight early Islamic artistry. A small on-site museum provides additional context about the Umayyad period.
