Awaj

The Awaj (نهر الأعوج Nahr al-A‘waj, literally 'crooked') is a river in Syria. It rises on the eastern slopes of Mount Hermon near Arnah, flows east for 70 km to the south of Damascus and terminates in the Buhairat al-Hijanah.

The Awaj is usually identified as the Biblical Pharpar, mentioned in the Book of Kings.
