The ancient river, which can be traced back to the 1836 photograph, has been a subject of historical interest for centuries. Originally, the Pharpar River was the lifeblood of the region, providing water for agriculture, industry, and the thriving city of Damascus. However, over time, the river's course has changed, and it is now generally identified as the Awaj or Barrada.
