Anjar, meaning "unresolved or running river"), also known as Haoush Mousa (Arabic: Ḥawsh Mūsá), is a town of Lebanon located in the Bekaa Valley.
The town's establishment is normally attributed to the Umayyad caliph al-Walid I at the beginning of the 8th century as a palace-city. However, historian Jere L. Bacharach claims it was al-Walid's son, al-Abbas, who was responsible for Anjar's founding circa 714 CE, citing the Byzantine Greek chronicler Theophanes the Confessor, who recorded that al-Abbas built the town.
