ヤズィード1世
Part of Jund Hims ("Military District of Hims"), Huwwarin flourished during the roughly 90 years of Umayyad Caliphate rule (661-750) and remained populated by Ghassanid Christians. It was the favorite recreation spot of the second Umayyad caliph Yazid I (680-683), who drank and hunted there. The caliph resided in Huwwarin frequently and died and was buried in the town on 11 November 683.
